Another longer run

Another longer run by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

25 minutes today.  After Tuesday, I was a bit trepidatious, but it went splendidly.  For once, I did the warm up and then went straight out to do the session.  This, in spite of a minor hissy fit that my headphones now only seem to work in my (oldish) iPod nano 4Gen if inserted at an improbable angle and held there with the cord sort of bent/twisted.  So I have to put up with monophonic sounds until I can either get this fixed or find a replacement - I may steal Colin's, as he doesn't use it any more.

Anyway, it meant there was a spring in my step from the very first stride, for once, and this set me up for a consistent session with no ups and downs, suddenly feeling warmed up or tired.  The whole thing just flowed.  Despite my being able to very clearly hear my own raspy breathing.

The end result is the biggest distance I have so far covered in a single session, with the best overall pace - under 9 minutes for a significantly (at this stage) long run!  Most chuffing.

We (i.e. Colin) plan further home improvement work over this long weekend, so it's off to no-doubt-heinously-congested shops now.  There will be alcohol this evening.
