141 days to go - 8 mile and the Poms have a go!

Route #5 Duration : 1 hr 18 min 34 sec Energy : 1062 KCal Distance : 8.4 miles Max HR : 159 bpm Av HR : 150 bpm Mile pace 09:21 min/mile Nothing to do with Eminem but the longest run so far. I thought I was going to do it in 8 min something but did not make it. I have to break 9 min for this distance before going further. I ran without a knee bandage today and had no problems until I stopped, at which point my right knee seized up completely! A pretty good incentive not to take rest stops! Anyway it was fine after an icing and a hot shower. I am publicly blaming my poor pace on watching of the ashes series all night, but privately I think it has more to do with the refreshments on hand!
