A long one (and new trainers at the end)

21M - long run at ~7.00min/M (10M with pack)

A really nice long one today with the boys from the club. There were a good number of us out. I ran to the track and back - where we meet up - so the whole thing ended up at 21 miles. I was nearly home by the time I hit 20 miles (my original target), so I carried on to the running shop... my shoes have notched up 500 miles. I got a new pair of the Brooks I'm already using, but in a new colour so I can tell them apart from my other pair and alternate them more easily.

My hip was good and it was nice to get a proper long one in. It gets me to 93 miles for the week, and I felt surprisingly untired given the total miles for the week and the stiffness I felt after yesterday's race.

I'm feeling positive about notching up 100 miles regularly before too long.
