I was supposed to run this yesterday and take today off, but I swapped the days due to my schedule. Ran 9.5mi today, making sure I ran really easy, and it came to 1:24:01 (8:50 pace). Still, I was tired at the end. But maybe it's normal as I am trying to build my mileage. My biggest challenge will be to stay consistent in the coming weeks after I move, and my routine will go out the door. My husband (who is already in London and started his new job) is telling me it rains every day approximately every 4 hours with various intensity - and it's only August :). I can wear waterproof clothing, but what do I do with the shoes?? I'll have to ask London runners what they do in the winter - maybe there are some waterproof socks or something... Running in water clogged shoes is very annoying and a sure way to get monster blisters. |
