16 mile run, and more. Back on track

Albert Bridge, one of the sights on my long runs

Thank goodness! A good run, and no injuries. After two weeks of near aborted runs coupled with horrific blisters which put paid to midweek efforts, today went well.

The target was 16 miles. Having run 14 and 15 miles the previous two Sundays, the logical next step was 16. This is quite an important taget for me. I ran my first 26 miler - the Flora London Marathon - having previously only managed 16 miles in training. So, by training up to this distance I know I can at least finish. And 16 miles is just what I did, with a little bit extra just to show off. Sorted!

Now to concentrate on being ready to finish in style. Sub-4 hours is (again!) the target.
