5 weeks out, 90 minutes down

5 weeks out, 90 minutes down by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

Much to everyone's surprise, not least my own, I actually stuck to my commitment to attempt a 90-minuter this weekend!!!

Mission accomplished is all I really want to say about it.  I set a target pace of 9:30 per mile, which I almost managed.  I determinedly reduced my usual pace for the first half, and this definitely made all the difference on the way back.

Since the session, my body has been protesting in so many exciting ways.  So the chances of tomorrow's planned session actually happening tomorrow are slim to none.  I do want to keep the momentum and optimism I've now developed, though, so hope to get back on track on Tuesday.  I have a packed week next week, so will have to try to get up properly early again and go before work.

Had a great afternoon with the family at my sister ad her husband's place, complete with baby-fuelled laughter and a rather delicious barbecue.  Home now, plonked on the sofa and not planning to move even a tiny bit.  Except I've just remembered I need to iron work shirts, dammit.
