Today was a great accomplishment to run the targeted 12 miles with the Brighton Marathon group! I was very happy I could see a clear progression in my performance in just a week which shows that with persistent work and effort I should be up for the challenge of the 26 miles this 10th of April. The run took place on the beautiful seafront by Hove Lawns which was a complete and utter luxury. Running along with my uncle was another stimulus to keep going as we motivated each other. A funny anecdote he told me later is that when he was about to give up the run to walk an older woman who was also running in the group approached him and mentioned that it wasn't serious that she could outperform a strong man like him, and I think it was a clear wake-up call since he managed to keep running until the end of the run. He was very happy about his performance and impressed about mine, which comment is always nice to hear. I was advised by one of the runner ambassadors to aim at running in total 25 miles in a week counting the ones I do on Sundays with the group. Hopefully, I will manage to stick to my personal training program which target is to run 3 x 10 miles during the week.
