My legs are killing me!! I was up at 0830 this morning and brushed my teeth before jumping in to my spandex for today's nine miler. The house was nice and warm and I just knew it was going to be freezing as soon as I stepped outside!
So out I went and started the run and kept a nice steady pace. I managed the first 4 and a half miles in 42 and a half minutes which was a decent pace considering I haven't been able to run over the last two weeks. At the halfway point, I turned straight round and started the journey home. The run was completed in 1 hour 27 minutes and 59 seconds which I am delighted with for my first ever attempt at 9 miles...I can't actually believe I ran for nearly an hour and a half...unthinkable!!
I've had my cold bath and hot shower but I still think I'm going to be suffering for the rest of today and the best part of tomorrow!! Ah well, it will ease the pain on the day of the big one so it's worth it!!
Next week will consist of a 3 miler on Tuesday, 4 milers on Thursday and Saturday before another 9 miler on Sunday but for now, it's time for the first scone of 2009!!!
