Time!

Starting to come down now from the elation that the GSR run gave me. It was definitely one of the toughest things that I have ever done both physically and mentally. One big lesson I learnt was that there is a HUGE difference in running for a couple of hours at + 9 minute pace than running a half marathon at race pace. You wouldn't think that 40 odd seconds a mile would make a difference as it would only add about 8 minutes to your overall time but the reality of running a 8:30 pace over 9:10 is that they are a world apart or for me an additional 35 BPM on my average heart rate.
