7th February, 10.19 miles, 1 h 46 min 4 s
Yes - double figures - hurrah!
Today was the first time I've run 10 miles. I planned a route out on Gmaps Pedometer (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/) - a great site. And tried to emulate it.
Although a few of the roads suggested looked tiny, I thought I'd give it a go. Needless to say I was greeted with mud tracks, hills, dogs and a couple of horses on my travels - which made it particularly interesting.
I ran over a few railway bridges and spent half my time on roads without footpaths, so was always on the look-out for the stray car or cyclist ready to do me damage.
What I have learnt, however, is that anything greater than 10 miles requires me to carry water and perhaps a gel pack too. I'm therefore on the look-out for a batman-esque utility belt, which is lightweight, but strong enough to hold a bottle or too.
Greating me at home was my wonderful wife, and a nice warm bath she'd made me :)
