I've been thinking about running home. When I did the equivalent distance with Rob on the way to work we managed it under 1:15. This is what I target tonight.
I start off fast, zipping in and out. Then somewhere on the way to Lewisham reality kicks in and it hurts. It hurts most of the way back. I keep pushing though.
As I reach the top of Shortlands High Street I'm surprised to see that the 1:15 is still on. This motivates me and I push on. I then realise that the 1:12 may be on. So the last half a mile I really push.
With about 200m to go I realise I will do it. I am exhausted, out of breath and very sweaty. This is probably quicker than the train home. Couldn't run it at this pace very often though!
It was around 8 minute miles which is my target marathon pace (Brighton, not Beachy Head!) Though the route home is a lot hillier and I got caught at lots of roads and traffic lights.
