How far in 2hrs 03mins 30secs

Cor how hard was it today.
Nerves got the better of me and I was sick
as pig before my training run.
Left home at 08.00 and finished at 10.03.30.
The last 20minutes were really hard.
There was light rain on and off all the way round and
helped keep me cool.
Well how far did I run?
14.23 miles, 21504 steps.
Not to bad but slightly short of my target.

How many?

Nearly the end of the week and still they keep coming.
While this Beech 200 G-KLYN was training,Vickers VC10 XV105 (Cor what a cracker) was on apron 3
awaiting departure.

Iberia Macdonald Douglas MD-87 EC-FFA was inbound
for Air Livery.
Grob G-BYXY was on apron 1,
With Diamond DA-40 G-CCLV.
Arriving for apron r and fuel was EC-135 G-HOLM.

So whats happening now.

I have just compleated a 53mins 35sec run.
Covered 6.3 miles.
With a good hill climb half way round.
I will be running the Bristol 1/2 Marathon on the 14-09-08.
Yep just over 2 weeks to go.
I hope to complete the run in 1hr 50mins, but would like to be under 1hr 47mins.
Thats going to be tough going.
On sunday morning 31-08-08 I will do a 2hr run, then its
slowing down and doing other training for the following 2 weeks.
After that 2 weeks off hard training and hopefully some good fishing
both freshwater and sea. Tidy the garden as the dull weather has
trashed it.
