8 1/2 is the new 9 1/2
Decided to do 12ks for the long run this weekend to give the legs a little more recovery time. After spending half the day at soccer I set out at 4.00 this afternoon. It was cool again (16 degrees) but not cool enough for long sleeves.
I warmed up pretty quickly and had a good run. The time all up was 81.15. I am happy with that as I felt comfortable the whole way and wasn't trying to push at all.
The time for the killer hill was 8 1/2 minutes. I am very happy with that. I felt good the whole way, didn't rush, just kept it steady. When I compare not eve being able to run/walk without stopping a few months ago (before I knew about the Graves) this makes me really happy.
Last night I was watching netball and one of the commentators was discussing how fit one of the players was and remarked that "She even runs half marathons for fun".

Don't you just love those mini-acheivements? I was riding to work the other day when I realised I'd made it up one of the hills without changing to the lowest gear! It was unconscious at the time but now I make sure I DON'T change down!
I'm not sure how celeste does it, she's fantastic, being able to ride while "unconscious" and all ;)
Makes all our efforts seem pretty lame eh!
