131 days to go - A new route and another sponsor.

Route #6 Duration : 1 hr 50 min 4 sec Energy : 1267 KCal Distance : 11.5 miles Max HR : 150 bpm Av HR : 136 bpm Mile pace : 9:34 min/mile Better late than never, I finally got to go on the 11.5 mile "Long" run. I ought to have run this distance twice before today but as my readers will know fate and partying interfered with my plans. I set out with a fair degree of nervousness as to whether this was too big a step up in distance/duration and set a very conservative pace. I am pleased to say that apart from getting bogged down in the X-country section I coped with the run pretty well and feel I can go further and faster. A big thank you to "tanner" for his generous donation - I think you walk like a girl! On the medical front I finally took delivery of my orthotic insoles today from Suvanne. My initial impression is that they will take some getting used to. My first run with the insoles fitted is scheduled for Friday so I will let you know how that goes.
