Mission Accomplished!!!

I set out on my run this morning with one thing in mind - to achieve my goal of under twelve minutes on the 'secondary to primary' Strava segment.

I'm pleased to say I managed it... by one second!  I did it in 11.59 which also set a new ladies' course record by 44 seconds.

I know there are some of you who read this blog and tut at the whole Strava thing, but it's clearly working for me as setting these goals, for example, makes me work harder to try to accomplish them so that can only be a good thing, right?

The segment is from Rivington & Blackrod School to the prep school in Rivington, using the path alongside the reservoir.  After I got to the prep school, I then continued my run by heading along the road up to Rivington Green, then turning right towards the bottom barn and just running along the path to the side of the road back to Rivington & Blackrod School, then back home.

I used my new custom insoles this morning from Sweatshop as my other ones died a death.  They're only supposed to last 1,000 miles but I think I have done about 1,500 in mine.
