What a week!

I haven't had any time to blog any run this month, but last week I had an unexpected surprise.

The week started well, I managed to run almost every day:
Tues 3.6 miles in 37 minutes 10:10 min/mile
Wed 3.7 miles in 36:40 minutes 9:49 min/mile
Thurs 3.6 miles 36 minutes 10 min/mile
Fri 3.6 miles in 34 minutes 9.27 min/mile

Saturday I went out running with Lara to help motivate her and to see what it was like running together. Lara has not been running as much as me this month, so her times are a bit slower, but she still managed to run 2.92 miles in 12:49 minutes which is a 12:49 min/mile. Well done Lara, keep it up!

Sunday was where something completely unexpected happened, I ran 3.6 miles at just over 10 minute/mile, but when I was nearly finished I wasn't at all tired, so I ran a bit further, and then a bit further, and then a bit further until I had run the 3.6 miles all over again, making a grand total of 7.23 miles! I was absolutely amazed that I could do it, and of course very pleased as well. I even felt at the end I could have run further, but it was getting a bit late and I knew Lara would be getting worried as I had been gone over an hour. My average speed was 10:26 minute/mile which is a little slower than I want to run the great South run, but I am so happy I was able to run that far, and it is only March.
