Day 166 - 17 April 2011

Sunday
Half Marathon

My legs were ready and at 6am I was off and out of the door.  I knew it would be a hot day, so an early start was essential.  Not only to avoid the heat of the day, but also to avoid the crowds along the beach and mostly because I needed to be home in time to watch the London Marathon.

The sun was just rising and I decided to keep it simple and plan 5 laps of 3 miles.  However, my knee wasn't having any of it.  By 4.5 laps, it decided to tell me to get home and apply ice.

The laps were surprisingly easy.  I guess mentally, I knew that the furthest away from home I would ever be was 40 minutes.  So if you can avoid the mental torture of repeating laps, then this is a good solution.

Pleased with today's session.  Will be aiming to repeat it again on Good Friday :-)


4.5 laps of 3 miles.
