chirunner Feb 2009 2:04pm, 1 Feb 2009 4 posts	Quote Pin chirunner 11.2 mile recovery run in the freezing cold today but i could not keep the smile off my face from yesterday. My pace for the first part of the mile was 3.05mins/km and then every section afterwards almost exactly 3.45mins/km (from garmin)..great pacing ..not. And it did not feel great to see you all charge past. I will set off much more steadily next time. What gives me some hope is that the 3.45 pace for the most of the race felt very "comfortable" and if I can keep this going over 5k will get me under 19mins my next target. So something to work on. I think running on the rubber surface is very comfortable compared to the roads and it would nice to be able to train on a track like this

It's so nice to meet you all and be able to put faces to people. Just done the Alsager 5 race and managed a new personal best - 2 in one weekend well pleased

At 14:72 I unfortunately don't get a PB, as I only recorded 14-something last time. Never mind. Off to peruse photos.

Jo, I only added the results I had been told while perched on my stairs, so if you or your timer didn't come over that's why it's not there. I knew there were more in each race, but I didn't know who was missing. No worries, just add it to your portfolio.

Thanks to Homer and Cheshire Lady for organising such a great event and thanks to Sluggish and Debbie for the lift to and from Macclesfield :-). It was nice meeting you all yesterday, just a pity it was so Freezing and I didn't get a chance to speak to all of you. Did a nice 6 miler today to recover. Thanks to yesterday, clocked my first mile slightly quicker than normal. Loved all the cake and looking forward to the next one
