News at Ten…
Posted on July 7, 2009His Royal Highness Hal Higdon ordered me to do 6 miles on Saturday.
And I said NO Hal Higdon – I respect your ability to train millions of runners throughout the world – but today I feel like doing more!
So off I went determined to push up the mileage. All fine at six miles – and seven – and eight – and nine and I eventually arrived back home after completing 10.17 miles!
So really pleased with that at this stage – needed a bit of a confidence boost. I like Hals program but it does ramp up the mileage quickly in the final weeks and with New York under 4 months away I wanted to get into double figures again.
It was a slow old plod in 1:52:44 avg pace 11.04 but the route was cross country with quite a few gates to climb over so not too bad.
All well in the Lee camp – enjoyed the tennis at the weekend but glad it’s over now – spent too much time glued to the telly!
Last Friday we were at a works jolly – Champagne Tea at Claridges – very nice too! A glass of Champagne to start then sandwiches (no crusts dahlings!!) scones and cakes and more cups of tea than I’ve ever drank in one afternoon!! Highly recommend it though – just don’t have a drink in the bar before. We ordered 2 bottles of Champagne for ten of us – £200!!
Luckily we weren’t paying.
Have a great week.
Tez.
