I had been playing football in the garden and driveway with my eldest son and had broken a sweat as he has unending amounts of energy. It got to about 20:00 and I wanted to go for a run as I hadnt been since Monday.
I read some stories to my youngest son and then set out with my eldest on the Water Works loop (he was on his bike). Now I felt like I was up for it today!!
Set off at a good pace up the railway hill and down without slowing, along the Meols stretch where I guess I slowed up a little and got into my rhythm. I was looking at my stopwatch a little more on this run and found that i got to the Petrol Station turning to go down Carr Lane at 10:30 minutes or thereabouts.
Carried on battling all the way back until I got to the other side of the railway line and onto the last part of Carr Lane before joining up with Park Road where I then looked at the stopwatch again. It was on 20:20 or something similar and I knew I had a chance of getting my best time here if I pushed it.
I picked up the pace (and was able to) and went for home!!!
Details:
Start Time: 20:20
Duration: 22:16
Distance: 4.74 km
Avg Speed: 12.77 kph
7.94 mph
Very pleased with this but tired afterwards.

Very impressive average speed!
Considering that you only started running very recently, you have most certainly improving very quickly... which is extremely good to see.
I think John and I had ought to watch out soon.
Hello Chris
Are you still running?
Mike,
Oh yes I still am. I have been away all week with work and didnt get back until Saturday. I felt very tired yesterday as I did a fair bit of travelling so didnt go for a run.
I will be back to it tonight. We went up Snowdon last Sunday (05/08/07) as it was my wifes birthday and she wanted to go. My 9 year old did it all and my 3 year old did about half on his own and half on my shoulders. I will blog it when I get a chance.
