Day 6 – 15km Training!

My knee felt better after the 4 days rest i gave it and so this week i was eager to get outside and run again!
Yesterday which was monday i was all dressed and ready to go run when Alex announced that the book he had order would arrive that morning at some point & i would have to wait for it! I was a bit grumpy as i was looking forwards to get running again.
So i sat there half the day waiting for his parcel which turned up at lunchtime! which was to late for me to run as i needed to make lunch do my weights & stability ball then went off to work.
So this morning i got up knowing nothing was going to stop me running today lool It was 3c out there so i wrapped up well not wanting to get to cold but knowing at the same time i would soon heat up as i moved.
The plan for today was to do 4 miles but as i got running i thought to hell with it lets do 6! I have only run up to 5 & half miles when training and only do 6 miles when doing my two 10k races so i wanted to get 6 miles into my training!
It rained lightly after 2 miles in but i kept on going down my little park then along the road to the bigger park. My knee felt heavy after 3 miles but not uncomfortable so i carried on. I did add some walking into the running just so the knee wasnt to stressed but it seemed to be fine. (even feels fine now)
I think the weights and stability ball work are really helping me with my stamina because i just kept going and going! There was no negative moment which i sometimes get where i just want to go home. I just wanted to keep on running and i found my running zone really quickly! It was a really enjoyable run.
I got to 4 and half miles and i really needed to pee but i put it to the back of my mind and kept going. When i hit 6 miles i was back in the little park near home so could hurry in to go lol
I really think if i hadnt needed to pee quite so badly then i could have carried on running! Which has never happened to me before! The longest i have run is 10k but i feel like i can run more now lol
My pace was nice anyway i didnt rush it i was intent on doing the miles not the speed.
So i did 6 miles in 1 hour 10 minutes so roughly i would say i did 1 hour of running and 10 minutes of walking which isnt bad at all!
Really need some new running trousers though as mine are baggy now must go find some at some point lol
