I didn’t realise sometimes running slower than you are used to is harder than running faster.
For the last couple of weeks my training pace has upped quite a bit and I’ve been covering my 3 miles a day in about 26 minutes. But conscious of this weekend’s Leeds half marathon, I tried to slow down a bit today and only just managed it as I did the run in 27 minutes.
What I did manage to do though was pass 900 miles – hurrah, only 195 to go before the target is complete but still another four and a half months until I complete the year.
In other news, yesterday I applied in the ballot for next year’s London Marathon while sports nutrition company Maximuscle are sending me some of their new endurance products to try out. I’m hoping to get them in time for Sunday’s race.

Just thought I’d mention: I can relate to you. I got laid off in 6/09 and ran/walked 20 miles everyday. I even did a 5 hour run starting at 5 in the morning in order to be at a telephone interview at 10:30 (bad idea). Anyway, I am back at work but miss having the time to finally run all I want.
