Another week down and another long Sunday run not missed. It was the week of the Asics Run Kingston race on Sunday, where you can either run 8.2 miles or choose the 16 mile double loop option, which is what I did last year, prior to running the NYC marathon. This year, I stuck to the 8.2 miles and I smashed my PB by nearly 5 minutes, despite moderate training of 1-2 runs per week.
I crossed the line in 57:21, although the race results tell another story. In fact, Mr Mogford crossed the line in 57:21 and Mr Moggs finished in 1:08:07. You'll just have to take my word, my watch and my iPod for it that, for that particular race, I was actually Mr Mogford. I don't know what happened, I guess the timing chips got posted out to the wrong people or something.
Anyway, I was pretty chuffed and now just contemplating what that means I have to try and run the marathon in. Of course, that's a different ball game and I'm not getting any delusions about how I'll fair at more than 3 times the distance.
In summary for the week:
- 40 miles cycling
- 1 hour swimming
- 8.2 miles running
- 4 hours shopping!
- No resistance training
