WELL, HAD A GOOD RUN TODAY - RAN FOR 2 HOURS 20 MINS + AT A CRACKING PACE AS HAD A MATE RUNNING WITH ME FOR THE 2ND HOUR (ie - he was fresh). DID 5 LAPS OF RETIRO PARK (6.29KM LAPS) IN THE CITY CENTRE OF MADRID - THATS 31.45km in 140mins WHICH = 13.48 km / hour AVERAGE OVER THE RUN.... NIIIIIIIICELY!!!
THE ROUTE IS ENTIRELY FLAT WITH SOME FANTASTIC SCENERY (if you know what i mean) and no way feels like a 27 minute lap... Time just flies by which is great..... I set off at 09.00 and my mate joined me half way through the 2nd lap. I was busting along at a cracking pace and he was clearly struggling for the 1st few minutes, but soon got the flow of things... I then made a school boy error and thought I would run home, another 3 or 4km... Bad move, as soon as me legs knew I was allowed to walk no matter what I said or did to them I was a walking man.... Still, gorgeous weather and a nice hour cool down... I got home, no shower.. Laid a couple of cushions on the carpet and fell into a deep Sleep for 2 hours, HOW GOOD IS THAT FOR A DAY - ALL BEFORE 14.00 - CYCLING 70KM TOMORROW STARTING AT 08.00 SO HAVING A FEW EARLY BEERS, AND BED.... THIS TRAINING LARK ALTHOUGH I FEEL INCREDIBLE, CAN BE A LITTLE BORING WITH NOT DRINKING... I JUST WISH I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT COULD GO TO A PUB AND NOT DRINK... IMPOSSIBLE, MAYBE I SHOULD BUY A CAR OR ARE PETROL PRICES TOO HIGH FOR THAT BRUCE?? MATE - MY OPINION, DON'T PUT ANY NEGATIVE, POLITICAL, NON TRAINING SHITE ON YOUR BLOG, THE REST OF THE LAZY POPULATION MAY NOT BE READING, BUT I AM YOUR No 1 READER - YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE ME TOO DO YOU!!!
