A Really Good Week

Yes, believe it or not last week was good, I did 2 quick 4 milers, both in under 40 minutes, yes, I hear your gasps, I am getting quicker!  I also did a good 6 miles in 60 minutes in the heat of the day on the river bank on Thursday, this I found to be a number of things, firstly, flat, and secondly enjoyable (and not many of my runs have been that), but running up the south bank was really interesting as there was loads going on and lots to see.  Running back down the other side was not so good, as I appeared to be running into a head wind that was most certainly not helping me on the other side!  and I also couldn't catch this old guy who was infront of me when I came off the bridge.

When it came to the weekend, I'd ended up having a few more than expected at a wedding party on the Friday night (congratulations to both the Argies and the Biscoe's) so I put off the long run until Sunday.

As Sunday morning came round I felt really well prepared (a new feeling) and confident (for a change), 12 miles later and 2 hours and 10 minutes, I felt a lot less confident and a lot less well prepared, but I was still positive about the distance covered and the fact that although my legs felt that they couldn't carry me any further, they have felt like that at the end of each long run, and the next one is always further.
