How long for my 'long run'?

Today was meant to be a rest day. However, as I looked out my window at 11:30am to see a brilliant sunny day, I thought why not make the most of it.

I went for my usual 8-9km run to the Tan and back. I'm conscious of not over doing it, so I just did an easy pace.

I'm starting to notice the same familiar faces on my runs. Often I find myself given them a slight smile as I go past. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because we are sharing something in common, or just because I'm enjoying my running so much. Anyway, I hope they don't think I'm some kind of weirdo...

I did my run in 41:32, and the Tan in 18:22 (told you it was an easy run).

I did do something different today however. I ran the Tan anti-clock ways. Instead of running up Anderson Street, I ran down. Call me silly, but I much prefer running up - not so much pressure on the quads.

My weekly plan was meant to be 27km. Due to a couple of extra runs, my actual total to date is 32km, and I still haven't completed tomorrows run with George or my Long Run on the weekend. Speaking of my long run, my scheduled distance was meant to be 10km. As I am running 9km regularly through the week, I'm debating whether to run something further (12, 13, 14 or 15???).

As I mentioned before, I don't want to over do it, but I'm feeling quite good in my running, and pulling up quite well. I might see how I feel on the day...
