Blackhill Bounders – Pacing Session – 9.19km

You see that big shiny banner? Do you? I registered to join the Bounders! ‘Tis most exciting to me 🙂 I’d missed the Run England session last night as I finished work too late to go for the 6pm start and was determined to go out tonight to do something, I was thinking 2 loops around the village – approx. 8km or something. I’m very aware that I’ve got this 10 mile run on Sunday and I haven’t really done any running since last Tuesday until tonight! On Monday I didn’t get home until 21:00 after a 07:30 start – and I literally crawled into bed, made a quilt tube, and that was me for the night.

I was skimming facebook when I got home today (at a slightly more reasonable time!), and noticed one of the Bounders guys had put on the page about a training session tonight for all abilities from 18:30-20:00. Not really sure what I’d be getting myself in for, but sure I’d do more with other people than I would on my own (where it would be very easy to bale after one lap!), I got my trainers on and headed to the leisure centre for the start.
