What a difference a day makes

Thanks again for everyone's support yesterday, it was really appreciated.

MrsW and I had a little talk when she got back from work. She thought I was a bit "fed-up" yesterday morning and she regretted letting me wimping out on my run. She did however offer to take the boys to rugby on her own to let me go out for a run. With an offer like that I couldn't turn it down.

Disappeared out of the door ready to do a long one but prepared to take whatever the body (or mind) was willing to give. It turned out they were both prepared to give a fair bit! 13 miles in 2 hrs and 47 seconds. Averageing 9:17 per mile and HR of 144

Mile	Pace	HR
1	9:04	140
2	9:20	145
3	9:05	141
4	9:20	143
5	9:29	143
6	9:15	142
7	9:15	141
8	9:14	145
9	9:17	143
10	9:19	143
11	9:12	150
12	9:22	147
13	9:30	147

Net effect is that I'm well pleased with that run. Ok I sort-of rigged the route by running along the seaside for a fair bit but that left me with the lovely hill at Mile 11. Anyway Lochaber is as flat as a pancake and they say you should do runs that mimic the race course.

More time spent on the Thin Controllers model railway. The base board is now painted the closest colour to grass that I could find in a tester paint pot. Trouble is the Thin Controller now expects me to go and get the track tomorrow and have it ready for when he comes home from school. Excuse me we've got the plumbers in tomorrow and I may be a little busy!!!

That reminds me, the plumbers will need to take up the study floor so I'll have to disassembly the computer and put it out of harms way. I'll try to blog from one of the boys computers but don't worry if you don't hear from me for a couple of days.
