Longer lunchtime run

I did a slightly longer run today, along what has become know as the University of Sussex health week route (as I was introduced to i during that event nearly a year ago). It was bright and sunny and there were llamas at play.

Brighton Reebok 10K

A bright and glorious morning for the Brighton 10K which I completed in an unofficial 45:52.
I wait for the official results, but I'm very pleased. I hoped for 45 minutes, and seem to have judged the pace correctly, though I was worried I might be going too fast at first. But at the end I had just enough left for a final sprint.
Time: 45:52
Distance: 6.26 miles
Pace: 7.51 (best 4.10)
Fashion notes: I ran it in a studentcentral t-shirt kindly given to me by the University of Brighton's Learning Resources Team

Pages: my running history

What does the Greek in the banner mean?

  • χαιρέτε νικὠμεν
    χαιρέτε νικὠμεν means "Greetings, we've won" and are the words attributed by Plutarch and Lucian to the runner who brought news of victory at the battle of Marathon to the people of Athens. They both wrote some six hundred years after the battle and the story is unlikely. Herodotus, who was closer to events, writes of a runner called Pheidippides who ran from Athens to Sparta to ask for help before the battle, but says nothing of a run to tell the Athenians of the victory. "So, when Persia was dust, all cried, 'To Akropolis!
    Run, Pheidippides, one race more! the meed is thy due!
    "Athens is saved, thank Pan," go shout!' He flung down his shield
    Ran like fire once more: and the space 'twixt the Fennel-field
    And Athens was stubble again, a field which a fire runs through,
    Till in he broke: 'Rejoice, we conquer!' Like wine through clay,
    Joy in his blood bursting his heart, he died--the bliss!"
