At the Kingston run I set a more realistic pace on the Garmin and this time, I decided to stick to it, especially at the start of the race when the pace felt really easy....I knew that this would do me well come the latter stages of the race. In the end, I managed to run 15 of the 16 miles at exactly the pace I wanted to. I did slow down on the last mile, but I was pleased that I had kept it together for so long, thanks largely to some other runner who ran with me for about 10 miles.
Came home in 1:45, which although not exactly one of my faster runs, I was happy with, especially based on the amount of run training I am doing. The marathon the week after did not go to plan....achilles was sore from the start for some reason I pulled out at mile 6. I was not going to make another 20 without doing some serious damage.
