I had to go out tonight for a run as it was a great evening so I stole away before dinner with my son on his bike.
Took the usual prom route that i did and felt good so thought I would go for it. Surprisingly the backs of my legs were aching when i got going. I thought I was ok from yesterday as my legs hadnt ached up until that point at all.
Still went for it anyway but was very out of breath when I got back home. My son made me feel better by going miles ahead of me making me look even slower ;->.
Anyway in the end i suppose its a goodish time for me as its a new PB for that route but I thought it might have been quicker with the effort I put in.
I will settle for what I got and keep at it. Currently my legs are aching at the backs and a little on the thighs. I think I will rest tomorrow.
Incidently my son arrived home 5 minutes before me at around 18 mins (he was on his bike!!!)

New run - Not a route really
Went for a different run today trying to get a bit more distance and boy did I feel it.
Started off as usual down Bennett's Lane and instead of going left on the usual prom route I turned right and went along the embankment/sea defence toward Wallasey.
I dunno whether it was an off day or something but I didnt feel very good on the whole run!!
I went past the lighthouse and carried on a bit longer until i came to a sign where i turned back and went into the wind. The wind wasn't that bad but you could tell the difference.
Slogged it all the way back feeling like I wanted to stop all the time (as usual).
Made it back but felt I should have done better. I cant think of a decent name for this route as its just a straight back and forth run.
Details(if i got the right sign):
Google Pedometer Link
Start time: 17:30
Duration: 33.24
Distance: 6.6km
Avg Speed: 11.85 kph (didnt have Mikes spreadsheet to hand so might be wrong)
All I can say is that its tough building the distance up from what you are used to. I agree with you John, there are some of us who just make it look easy, eh Steve!!!!!
