Gym, 8.7 miles steady

In the afternoon I paid another visit to the gym to work on the hamstring curl machine for a while, and afterwards I still felt OK to get in a few more miles. I headed down Garscube Road, down the path behind Abercorn School, over the footbridge and back along the canal as far as Lock 27, then down Crow Road and home via Great Western Road and Garscube Road. The distance came out at 8.66 miles, time was 58:42 for a reasonable 6:47/mile average. I even tried to pick it up over the last half-mile or so to get my average down to 6:45, but getting stuck at traffic lights earlier on made it too difficult.
