Day 2 of The Big Challenge

My new trainers arrived yesterday (2nd September) and they are so comfy, I couldn't wait to get out and give them a test run.

The original plan was to run 4 miles and stick to the very well though out (cough, splutter) plan that I had devised, but it was such a lovely evening, warm setting sun with just a few patchy clouds that I thought that my new Mizuno Wave Ultima 2's deserved a decent run and decided to go for 6 miles.

Every extra mile that I do now, Is a mile that I don't have to do when the weather is less kind.

To my surprise, I was actually quicker last night than I was the night before.  My legs felt pretty heavy by the time I got to around 2.5 miles and the hill between Bold Heath Garden Centre and Rivendell Garden Centre, but from 3 to 3.5 is a gentle downhill, so I managed to make up any time I lost on the climb.
