Definitely seem to be getting faster. Went at a nice comfortable pace (with a view to stepping up to HM distance) and did more km's than usual in an hour.

I did it! I did it!, I did it! *picture Seve Ballesteros on the 18th at St.Andrews in 1984*

59:28

My main declared goal when I started running again after the death of my father in Feb 2010 was to run 10K under 1 hour - achieved this morning.

I knew I'd speeded up a lot over the last 6 months and the recent increase in mileage amd occasional interval sessions has helped too, but I never imagined going from my last PB of 1:07:16 down to 59:28! I'm at my desk feeling kinda tired and (weirdly) quite emotional as I write this.

After not running last week due to illness back out this morning - obviously still not fully recovered from illness - what a struggle - very difficult run. No doubt will get better as the week progresses, I hope!
