Rest, meat, new highs and not a banana in sight

Complete rest till Friday this week, when I went out and did 10Km in 52 minutes, which was outrageously fast. There is something clearly psychological in running long-distance - all of a sudden, 6 miles is a breeze.

Saturday saw a 5 miler, but next week sees a 24 mile total, with 4 four-milers and an 8 mile run on Saturday.

The Torbay Half-marathon is the next milestone - where I hope to be able to do consistent 8 minute, 45 second miles including the first one. So the aim will be to do it in 1 hour 55 minutes. It all depends on the hills I guess - Exeter was just murderous!

I am glad to be eating meat again and removing pasta from my diet has been a luxury - but it can't last. Pass the spaghetti.

Thanks for reading my blog! The people in infernal communications where I work have asked me for an article when I complete this quest, so it'll come in handy as a reference.
