Training Week 10

I am officially into the second half of my training, which means the race is about 8 weeks away.  EEk!!!  And that also means the mileage is getting bigger and bigger....

Date: Monday, 20 March 2017
Distance: 17 miles (!!!!!)
Time: 2:45:32
Pace: 9:44 min/mile
Route: To hampton court and back

It was very, very slow going because my calves were really tight for the first 3.5 miles.  But after that, I was good until about mile 15.5 and the last 1.5 miles were pretty tough as well.  But I did it, and I didn't really think about stopping, even at the start when I wasn't feeling so great.  And I am still so thankful that I am able to run to cool places like Hampton Court!!!  That was pretty amazing.  One of these days, I will head into Central London.  And man was a I T-I-R-E-D when I got back!!  I can't even imagine how I am going to feel with an extra 9 miles.

A decent run, while they were installing our new grass!

A pretty good run, and I came across this statue in the middle of Wimbledon Common.  I was a bit afraid of getting lost in the common but it was nice to run not on the road.
