Training Run 65 - 5.6 miles / 9.01 km, 44'19''

This was one of those runs where I felt highly energised.  I noticed on setting off that it felt much easier running on the hard surface than the mud and soft ground of the cross country run on Saturday.  I felt as though I was running really fast, although I noticed towards the end of the run that the sides of my feet were aching.  I am speculating that they were not used to the difference in surface from cross country to hard pavement.  It was another dry evening but it had rained earlier so the ground was a bit damp.  I felt nowhere near as cold as I had done during the cross country run.  I was pleased that I was able to run really fast at the end, saving that burst of energy to ensure that nobody passed me, which is always good practice for future cross country runs.  I ran to the pagoda and back as opposed to the usual seven miles I do, because I was tired and really wanted to finish a bit earlier and get to the pub in good time!
