Week 11/18 - 32 miles with 16 mile long run today

Hurrah!!! I ran 16 miles in 2:15 and despite the blip midweek I now feel confident that I'm well on my way to being able to run 26.2 miles on 26th October.

I chose a slightly different route this time which took in the Lee Road. I've seen lots of runners there in the past but with no footpath for most of it and cars tearing along I was glad of my bright pink vest! 'Team Eileen' was in position with liquids at 6, 9, 12 mark which was a real mental boost. Going down the Straight Road, coming up to 10 miles, a carful of thirty-something males on their way to Killarney tooted and shouted out the car to me. It put a smile on my face until I faced into the worst incline of Model Farm Road, which I'm now starting to think isn't bad at all.

Knee didn't act up so am very happy and motivated again - I deserve a big bowl of pasta now...
