I was up at 0840 this morning and surprise surprise...it was raining! I got myself 1 couple of slices of toast an decided to give it a while to see if it eases off as I couldn't afford to miss another big run. The rain stopped around 0930 so I got changed in to my spandex, got my bottle of water and got started on my 10 miles.
The bottle of water was annoying to carry so about a mile and a half in to the run, I left it on a garden wall! About two and a half miles in and the rain started again but it was just a light drizzle so no harm done. It only lasted 10 minutes or so, so I just cracked on with the run and made it to the 5 mile point fairly comfortably.
This was the distance that I ran when I injured my knee earlier in the year so I was a little nervous this morning, but this time around though the knee held out. About 2 miles from home I was gagging for a drink...and half a mile later I had it when I picked up my bottle of water again!! Perfect planning !!
So, 10 miles conquered (finally) and injury free. This coming week sees me go for 4 miles, 5 miles, 4 miles and then another 10 miles so it's as full on as ever.
