It was much cooler than it has been making it a very pleasant experience and I ran 4.54 miles at a 9.01 minute mile pace.
On Saturday morning, after a late Friday night along with too much wine and pizza I went for another run!
Talk about running on tired legs ... they were not at all impressed!
I think I also must have been wearing my florescent pink invisibility cloak as there were several occasions when I was either on a zebra crossing or on a pedestrian crossing that the traffic failed to stop!
I struggled during this run and my legs felt like they were running through treacle but I persevered and managed 8.19 miles at a 9:17 minute mile pace!
After recovering from my run we went for a 5 mile walk before going to Ullswater to collect my Marshal kit for my marshaling duties at "The Day in the Lakes" Half Iron Man triathlon today!
We conquered another Wainwright - Beda Fell, which was a lovely walk and very quiet! That only leaves 180 to go!
Today I really enjoyed my first marshal experience! I was stationed about 30 miles in on the cycle route and had to make sure that cyclist's heading towards me turned left!
There were some cyclists going at such speeds I thought they had no chance of getting around the corner but thankfully I had no casualties on my watch!
I was amazed at how appreciative and friendly the majority of the competitors were and will definitely do it again in the future!
I got to watch some great athletes in action and do a good deed for society all in one go!
