PM: Long run with Tim this afternoon, did our usual Monday night 10 miles but extended a further 2.5 miles the other side of Hythe along the canal bank and back. Good pace and last 7 miles were about 1 min 10 secs faster than first 7 miles and this included going up Sandgate Hill!!  At times was feeling very tired but running with someone helps to keep the pace up rather than slowing.

Saturday 22/12/12
AM: Club Cross Country Training this morning at Evegate Mill, but absolutely pouring down with rain and only 4 of us turned up!! Warm up course so waterlogged and running ankle deep in water at times. Due to long run yesterday only ran efforts at an easy pace behind the others. But got a good six miles in.

PM:  Two laps of Lyminge, still raining but had eased off a bit and so was not too bad. Again run at an easy pace

AM: Distance:  6 miles      Time: 01:11:10     Ave Pace: 11.53 m/m
PM: Distance:  6 miles      Time: 00:52:01     Ave Pace: 8.40 m/m


Sunday 23/12/12
No long run today as managed to get it done with Tim on Friday, so decided to try and run with a little pace, as a few on my runs have been at an easy pace this week.  Went out at a good pace right from the start and was thinking if I could hold this for about 6 miles, then if needs be I would then drop off and do next 5 a bit easier. However managed to keep the pace up all the way round, the 2 slower miles were two big hills, so not worried about them. The weather was dry thank goodness after yesterday and very mild, had to take my gloves off after a couple of miles. Very pleased with pace of run after another heavy week.

PM: Distance: 11 miles      Time: 01:16:35     Ave Pace: 6.57 m/m
