Thursday - Now THAT was a long day

Busy day at work - lots happening with my patient - and a student to talk the ears off
So a good day- but one in which I hardly had time to sit down...

So - on my feet for 12½ hours....

and then a little plod home...

Decided to aim for a HR of 165

I was quite pleased with this - although legs took a bit of a hammering - they were tired before I started... Still - running with tired legs is something I'll have to get used to for when it comes to the Marathon. The really pleasing bit was the efforts that I put into the two hills (7.3 - 9 miles, and 10 - 11 miles) where, although my pace dropped and my heart rate climbed - neither was by a huge amount. Right - bath, bed, and a long drive tomorrow to go and collect the kiddiwinks.
