Aug / Sep – The Road To ?

[marathondan]

2.5 easy, as the schedule writers would say.

I failed to find 90 minutes over the weekend, so I've written off this week's "long" run. Now there's probably only one more chance to get a 9-10 miler in before the Henley half, on Sunday week.

So this was just a short outing to keep the legs ticking over. Despite a modest target pace, I was home only 30 seconds slower than my "tempo" run last week. A month ago, this run would have been knackering and demoralising. Tonight, it was as close to truly enjoying running during the run (as opposed to afterwards - usually the best bit) as I can remember.
