Humber Half
Tired as hell I sit here this evening with only a few words spare. I ran the Humber Half, and clocked it under two hours. Felt better than I did hitting 1:45 for the GNR.
I ran 9 minute miles for most of it. My right big toe ached with my lack of flexibility and practice, and my spine was twisted from a poor night's sleep a time ago. But three miles ago I found another gear, slowed my cadence and bounced to some nice 7:30-8 minute miles until I dipped easily under two hours. Felt good to run on guts again.
Of course, it wasn't a race for me. It was more training to begin training. A way to round of the year, I think. Still plenty to go, but I doubt I'll be able to do as much as I would want - need to do less.
