Another 10K

Durdham Down Trees
Def­in­ite rule of run­ning: once you’ve done a dis­tance once, it’s a lot easier, psy­cho­lo­gic­ally, to do it again. Today I was feel­ing pretty good, and I’d had a decent night’s sleep, and the weather looked okay, so I decided to do 10K again.

And here it is on RunKeeper.com. It was actu­ally 10.42km, about the same as my pre­vi­ous long run, and in about the same time. In fact, due to a nice bit of syn­chron­icity, the last every-5-minute reminder I heard from Run­Keeper was “Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes. Dis­tance: Ten point zero zero kilo­metres”. So now know I can do 10K in exactly an hour and a quarter, even start­ing with a big hill. Yay!

Also, that time includes a few seconds stop­ping to take a pic­ture. Today’s pic is the rather lovely col­lec­tion of trees in the middle of Durd­ham Down, it looks to me as if it’s three sep­ar­ate trees, and also one single tree, all at the same time. A kind of dis­trib­uted tree :)

    Yay! Well done!

    And I love the clouds in that pic­ture, almost as much as the trees…

    Like the photo muchly.

    Run­ning — you only need to add about 32K to match your aged par­ent — 3:42:37 to beat with sev­eral years age advantage.
