Day 16

Another mile run.

10 mins 10 secs.

Far quicker than any of my other times,( 33 seconds quicker than last run, and 1min 23 secs quicker than my first mile!) and I really felt comfortable. I had a slight pain down the front of my lower legs at the beginning which I think came from stretching exercises before the last run. I also had the feeling that a "stitch' was coming on in my left side as I approached the end, but my breathing and general energy was very good.

AS I approached my house, my neighbour was there and spoke to me. Had this been one of my first runs I would have embarrassingly spluttered and been unable to speak from lack of breath. However, I managed to say, very casually, "Oh yeah, just out for run!".
Great feeling!

I actually felt as though these were not my legs - they just seemed to keep going as though at times they defied my brain.
Everything on tonight's run seemed shorter. Probably because I was running quicker.

I actually believe the circuit is further than one mile, so that would mean that i ran 1 mile in under 10 minutes.

That is encouraging!

Feeling good tonight!
