In itself, it wouldn't have been a big deal but, on the back of Sunday's efforts and Monday night's five miler down at Spen A.C., it was a right effort.
Last night's rest didn't seem to have had any beneficial effect on me and, from the off, my legs felt tight and I couldn't find my stride, so it was a case of digging in and getting round.
Oddly, I found it a lot easier to power up the hills, rather than down them - a consequence of my right ankle feeling a really delicate at the front where it meets my leg. Whinge whinge whinge!
Anyway; job done!
Tomorrow night is 15x200m reps down Spen (with the usual warm up/down miles and active recovery), so I'm hoping I'll be back on the pace. Pace being the operative word - 200's are fast!
Incidentally, Sam was the 13th female finisher on Sunday, which is an amazing achievement, especially considering we're not even training for a half marathon or regularly running half marathon distances at half marathon pace. I'm really proud of her and I'm sure she'll be a top ten finisher sometime soon.
Anyway, I've got a very early start tomorrow, so I'll sign off with an action shot from Sunday and, if anyone says anything about the size of my thighs, there'll be what's for!
