That was a run, that was!

That was a run, that was! by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

25 minute 'steady' run on the prom.  A beautiful evening today, lots of people out enjoying the sunshine and the light breeze.  Including one total prick, unfortunately, cycling on the NO CYCLING bit WHILE ON HIS MOBILE and shouting at me when he almost hit me.  From behind.  There's a word that starts with 'c' that sums it up quite nicely.

I was trying quite hard today, not moving quickly enough to catch the bastard and dump him on the pavement, but too out of breath to come back with a witty riposte.  The adrenaline rush may have actually helped, though, as this is the fastest pace I have covered any distance since March 21 2012!!!  At that time, I was on a 3-week countdown to the Brighton marathon, so with just under 6 weeks to the Great North Run, I'm really chuffed.

I've covered over 215 miles in training, despite missing huge chunks of the programme, and am regularly now doing over a half marathon a week, which is more than enough to get me round the course on the day.  I'm really looking forward to it, I've booked my flights, I can't wait.

I've also started eating breakfast every day - something I've not done since school - and tried to healthy-up my lunchtime intake.  I eat whatever the hell I like in the evening and make no apology for it.  No huge impact yet on weight or body measurements, but I do feel I have more energy at the end of the day than I used to already.  Onwards and upwards!
