Nice milestone to hit though. It took me 2 hours and 6 minutes, I've no idea whether that's any good for a first attempt or not, but I've felt like I've been capable of the actual distance for a while now, so it was nice to just knuckle down and do it.

It also took me past 100 miles run in November, which is what I was aiming for, so I'm happy now. I think a couple of days off are in order!
I take it, by the number of exclamation marks you've used, that you're rather chuffed?

That seems like a good time. I'm happy to average 6k/m on any run greater than 5k.
