28k - longest run yet

On Sunday I completed my longest run to date - 17.4 miles (28k).

I woke up bright and breezy at 7am and headed out in the bitter cold with the intention of running solidly for 3 hours and see how it went.

The pace remained slow and steady as I didn't want to over-do it, and the 3 hours flew by! I was in my own world, with Andy C and Nero keeping me company on my iPod.

As I headed home just over 3 hours later, I realised I'd just run 17.4 miles which is two thirds of the marathon distance :)

This has made me feel a lot more confident about the next few big races I have - the Worthing 20 and the Cranleigh 21.

I still can't quite believe how far I'm now able to run. 6 months ago I was struggling to run 10k!
