OK. Day 6.
I was still quite stiff from my previous days training and only had a shorrt 'window' in which to train, therefore I decided once again to clock up a single mile.
However rather than go all the way to the gym I decided to reproduce the mile I did on Day 1 on Southsea seafront.
It was once again cold, wet and dark.
On Day 1 I ran the distance in 8:08 and I was determined to crack the 8 minute barrier. So I set off at a pace.
Bad mistake as I was very soon out of breath and even slowing didn't help. However I crossed the line convinced that I had broken the 8 minute barrier if not with very painful lungs.
A quick check of the watch showed me ....... 8:25! Aaaagh! Good grief!
Southsea must be a nice place to run, even in the cold and wet. Well done on your run! :-)
