Conditions: Avg Temperature: 22.9 °C, good day – we went to the beech!

Distance: 6 miles
Time: 50 min
Average Pace: 8:20 min/mile

Remarks: Good run, I think today was the best day yet for my ankle! I woke this morning and it wasn’t sore! however after the walk to the GAA pitch it was at me a bit, and remained in my mind for the entire 6 miles.

During the day my ankle was fairly ok, and while it made its presence felt every now and then it was good for most of the day.

For the run, I also felt I was nearly able to get into it, before slowing down due to my heart rate – it was a good run, even if it was just under 24 laps of the GAA pitch

I found it really difficult to get my heart rate down for the first mile, as you can see by the graph below it got high very fast and I nearly needed to stop to get it to drop.
