Today was my longest training run since 28 September 2008. It was 19 miles, not too far really but I was quite nervous beforehand. Not sure why, in ultra terms 19 miles is not far at all.
The plan was to run at about 8:30 per mile but in the end I ran 8:11 per mile and it was easy !!! Definitely a good run - or was it one of those days when everything came together. A large cup of coffee about one and a half hours before running also helped (Starbucks Guatemala Casi Cielo - delicious).
Wildlife notes: in a field about half way between Otley and Burley were the following birds ... crows, magpies, doves, lapwings, pheasant and a small wading bird too far away to identify (also spotted a red kite overhead later).
