Pace run done!

Pace run done! by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

Finally, finally I have done a run that was about more than just plodding along for as long as possible!!! These are the essential sessions I really need to keep on top of, to improve my pace and not just my stamina in the build up to the big day.

It never used to be possible to upload pace goals from Garmin Connect to my pedometer, but this can now be done, and I have to say, it made an ENORMOUS difference to today's session.  Despite the blustery and generally foul conditions (it's June, for crying out loud), I sped up when I was told to and slowed down similarly. I am definitely going to do this on every session from now on.  It forces me to push myself and can only be good for me.

I also dropped below 12 stone today for the first time in many months and have started measuring various bits of what I laughably refer to as my body. I'll do this weekly on a Saturday and, even if my weight tends to plateau at various stages should therefore have some other way of measuring my progress to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Putting the finishing touches on another project deliverable today, with a visit from sister and nephew hopefully later on.  All in all, a goodish day. :-)
