Terrible weather for today's lsr in Ayr - very windy and raining too, especially on the seafront when the going was really quite hard. Toughed it out though and really pleased with the run - furthest so far at 10.41 miles.

Distance	9.27 Miles

First LSR of HM training. Couldn't have gone any better. Originally planned to do 7.5 miles but felt great so decided to do two full loops of circuit rather than 1.5 loops. Did this and ran 9.27 miles - could've kept going for a third loop and done the full 13.1 mile HM distance but didn't want to push myself too hard on the first LSR. Brilliant, very pleased!
