Living on the Edge

Fri PM: Run, 17K in 1:39

Well, today I picked up where I left off, and that's with running, not Krispy Kremes.

I didn't receive sfGnomes excellent advice to visualise them as treacle covered dog the one turds until too late. Instead I ate one and then looked up the nutritional information on the website, which was enough to prevent me from eating another one.

Now, I like to think I'm a risk taking, off-beat kinda guy who lives on the edge. With this in mind, I did something crazy today.

I did my long run on a Friday night!

I had been looking forward to this run for a while. I knew once I reached 16K I could use a loop I've only done once before but really enjoyed. It's a loop based on a course I pinched from 2P's Website.

It was an awesome run. You know the type, when you feel light on your feet, you're in a great mood and as Simon Townsend used to say, the world really is wonderful.

To be honest, it was a bit slow (average pace 5:52) and the cardio didn't enjoy it much (average HR 165, 86% MHR). It was a bit humid and I sweated buckets, but this is just all of the detail. The important thing is that I had a really enjoyable run.
