I'm getting back into these early morning runs as my 7am wakeup call testifies. After short but decisive negotiations with my warm & comfy bed I was up, dress and out by 7.30.
This morning I had a 6 mile run planned. As usual I started the run with pace of a little over 7 minute miles, which is far too fast. The town was just waking up as I ran through it and out towards the Curragh. It took 3 miles before I settled into the run and reduced the pace to a reasonable 9 - 9 1/2 minute miles. After the half way mark it got easier, but it was mostly downhill back into a now wide awake town.
The final distance was 6.25 miles which I ran in 59:01; that's a respectable pace of 9:27... Not to be sniffed at!
