Set off for lunchtime run worried about my left glute, decided to aim for 4 miles so didn't bother taking any water. Once I started running everything felt fine and it was lightly raining but mild (perfect running conditions) so I decided just to head off where I felt like it. Ended up doing 8.35 miles in total, had to try to move it a bit on the last two miles as I realised time was getting on a bit and I should get back to work. Average pace was 8.25 mm and I felt really comfortable for all of it . However, please bear in mind it is pan flat here, no big hills like a lot you ladies have to contend with (until I manage to get some trail running in).
