AM: It started out looking like another wet miserable morning as we set out for the race in Hythe this morning. However it was going to be a change in venue as Hythe High Street and Dental Street were being dug up with roadworks. Therefore it had been moved to the footpaths around South Road Park and the canal bank. Started off on the warm up and the rain was clearing and it was starting the look a bit brighter. Finished off with some drills and was now ready for the race. Josh Kennedy went off hard straight from the gun and I tried to tuck in behind him was he was too strong for me and gradually eased a little bit further and further ahead after each lap. Although going through first mile in 5.29 they dropped off to 5.50 and 6.00 subsequently, so I think I am missing some of the strength that has help me hold the pace in the past. But did have a heavy week, starting to run twice a day again and also doing a track session yesterday, with my aim more on the 5000m Kent Champs next week. However had to be pleased with 2nd place overall and 1st Vet. Lucy did well coming ion 3rd lady and other members of the club did well with Andy F 3rd, Kevin N 4th, Lauren 2nd, Catherine 4th & 1st Vet, Blake 2nd, Joel 4th, Charlotte 2nd and Sophia 3rd.
Did half mile warm down with Lucy before presentations.
PM: Went along The Leas for two miles with Lucy and her friend Connor who is training for Army selection test. Weather was now quite warm and the sun was out.
Distance: 10 miles Race Time: 0:22:10 Race Pace: 5.49 m/m
WEEKLY DISTANCE: 71 miles - Highest week for some months, didn't even reach this figure in marathon build up this year! However looking to build up the strength to try and help me hold the pace in shorter races.
