New problem tonight.
It wasn't Mr. Moaner or Mr.Quitter inside my head telling me how difficult it is, or to give up...this was a greater problem - my jogging pants and underwear kept slipping down.
Now, this may be a good sign that my waist is getting smaller, but it was a struggle at times, just to keep them up. I tried running and hitching them both up every 500metres or so, but in the end I resorted in pulling the underwear up and over the top of the running pants, and then doubling over the waist of my running pants 2-3 times.
With that sorted I could concentrate on the run and trying a 9.05 pace.
To be honest I saw I was running under 8 minutes while I was trying to sort my pants out! - so I had to really slow it down in the first mile.
Anyway, the run was pretty event less except for the pants.
Felt very good for the last mile and could feel myself running a lot quicker and very comfortably.
I had ( and still have ) a little pain below my left knee which came on as I walked my son to school. I stepped off the kerb and had a pain immediately in my knee. Hopefully it is a jolt pain that will go away in the next couple of days.
Splits.
1 - 9.14
2 - 9.08
3 - 9.04
4 - 8.35
(Bones in Motion give me a 36 minutes 01 seconds for 4 miles)
New PR for 4 miles 36 minutes 04 seconds.
Had I known I was close to breaking 36 minutes I might have pushed on before, but I was under 8 minutes for the last 400metres or so and felt really good, so I am pleased with the progress.
Interesting to see my heart rate compare to last run.
Tonight I was hardly in Zone 5, with almost 80% of my run in Zone 4. Seem,ed to be very comfortable out there - apart form the underwear discomfort!
