Just over 8 miles

Ran just over 8 miles today in about 1hr 20 (see RunSaturday.com) and felt pretty good afterwards, which is the main thing.  Quite pleased really, as although I'll never be at a lightening fast pace, I feel I'm making some progress.

I mentioned on my last blog entry that I had a rough schedule in mind.  This is subject to change, but roughly I'm aiming to be able to do the following distances in the timescales mentioned:

• end of October (8 miles)....done!
• end of November (13 miles).
• end of December (13 miles).  If I can still run 13 miles into the New Year I'll be happy....
• end of January (15 miles).
• end of February (18 miles).
• end of March (22 miles).
• 25th April, race day.

These are only rough milestones and if at any point I feel I can run past the target, I will do.
