RE: Eat My Dust August
Cheers MLCM.
Yesterday was a mixed bag. I set off at a pace I'll hopefully be capable of in a couple of months. But not now. I've run over 3,4,5 and 6 miles quite successfully already this summer. And I was sandwiched between a couple of runners who I knew were roughly my standard.
But 10 was a mile or two too far. Particularly on this unrelentingly hilly course. So I started to die at around mile 8. Luckily I only slipped 2 places from my position at 400 meters. Although one was 100 meters from the line. Jelly legs. Nothing left.
10 miles hard effort in the bank though. Next stop the Stainland 7 in a couple of weeks. Another extremely hilly affair but it should be a perfect distance for me to put a more consistent effort together. Happy days.
