A new personal best at this distance! I shaved 40 seconds off the last time, very pleased with that.
Date: Thursday 31st July (yesterday)
Distance: 5.14 miles / 8.28 km
Time: 43 minutes 11 seconds
Description: 5 and a half laps of Highbury Fields (plus there and back)
Conditions: overcast but very warm. Dry pavements. I feel as though my breathing is now much better controlled, feel very comfortable at this distance. Wore rainbow socks for first time - these seemed fine, slight blister on left foot but nothing like as bad as has been previously. Good warm up and warm down - seem to have found a good pattern for these.
I cannot convey how pleased I am at the progress I'm making. When I started writing this in May I hadn't run for ages and I felt really unfit. Only a few weeks of committed training later and I feel as though I am making my way back. There is still work to do but I'm enjoying it again and I feel great.
(For those of you who like reading the Booker reviews, this project is sort of on hold at the moment. I will update again when I get a chance to read the next one.)
