I ran 10 miles today! A few months ago the thought of running 10 miles was a little daunting but today the miles slipped by.
Recently I've not been feeling too good about my training but this morning I was perked up by the cold weather and sunshine. Following sound advice, I tried to keep my pace slow and this allowed me to chat to a few people as I ran. Most were running further than me (between 12 and 18 miles) and often for the London Marathon (which is a week after the Brighton Marathon). Doubts crossed my mind about my training programme (should I be doing more?) but, deep down, I know it's sensible to slowly increase the distances and not over-train.
During the week I saw Jennie, my physio*, who eased the tension out of my poor muscles. I also had new orthotics fitted - although I decided to save their maiden voyage for a slightly shorter run.
Keep the faith and keep on with the training...
*technically Jennie's an osteopath; I use "physio" as a convenient shorthand.
