16 miles and a few loo stops

I feel that I have little more to say than:

I ran 16 miles on Sunday!!!!!!!!

I'd leave it at that but it was in fact 15.9 miles and I had to make some strategic loo stops.  Strangely the planners of London have not seen fit to realise that runners need to go to the loo!  Key loo opportunities need to be planned AND budgeted for.  On my 16 miler I went to the loo twice on route and once at the end forking out 30p x 2 to use the facilities at Charing Cross station and have a freebie with toilet roll at Battersea park.  I stopped at one  toilet and then backtracked in shock that Westminster Council wanted to charge me 50p!

My pace is something I should also mention.  I was very, very slow.  So slow I refuse to disclose the time taken on the internet.  To be fair it was supposed to be slow as to reduce the risk of injury and pain and instead to build up muscles for spending more time on my feet so I'm mostly happy about getting it done.  And due to carefully planned stretching, rehydrating and  eating - Boots meal deal for starters and some yummy home made lasagne on my return I appear to be fine today and have even planned my route for next Sunday.

Bring on the miles!
