Day 10 - 2 Weeks done, and a visit from Jimmy!!!!!

2 lots of 40 minutes at default marathon pace today (2:29 Anita, 2:05 Andy)

Both of us completed the time quite easily, and a few minutes into our 2nd stint the legend that is Jimmy McCullagh turned up at the gym, after doing a test for his London Marathon training.

We had a 10 minute-ish conversation (Both Anita, Jimmy and I) and we were shocked that it was an easy conversational pace for us. Anita is definitely keeping her heart rate much lower, and her breathing is very controlled, even on an 80 minute piece like we did today.

We also noticed in the Gym today a 50km challenge board, where the challenge is to rack up 50km in the month of October on either the Treadmill, Cross Trainer, Bike or Rower. We have done just shy of 300km together in the first 2 weeks of October!!!!!

Anita - 16112m
Andy - 19207m

Cumulative Total - 299106m (185.9 miles)

As a Journey:

Start: Topnotch Gym Colchester CO4 9ES
Finish: Burbure, Pas-de-Calais, France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burbure)
