Update - with the facts! "Piece of cake" according to Annette.....

Weather - very windy and wet all morning
Annette did call me and see if I would like to postpone it till the afternoon.....i did say I cannot choose the weather - and it has to be done!

Here goes..
Mile 1 - 15m 36s (serious face)

Mile 3 - 16m 34s (serious face)
Mile 4 - 16m 40s + mucky story!
Mile 5 - 18m 10s - (included Corbiere hill & pee stop)
Mile 6 - 15m 56s - many mucky stories!!!
Mile 7 - 15m 23s - peasy!!!!
Mile 8 - 15m 32s
Mile 9 - 15m 14s - easy peasy - & PB!
and
Mile 10 - 15m29s - TRIUMPHANT FINISH!

N.B.:
- we always treat the first 3 miles (one hour-ish) as a warm up
- Todays 1 - 4 miles were into asignificant headwind
- it i 4.3 miles from LEs Laveurs (Jersey Pearl) to the start of the Railway walk at Corbiere.
- miles 6, 7 & 8 are gently downhill on the railway walk
- the last 2 mile were on the hard and flat along the front from St Aubin

MOST of the course was on a trail or hogging terrain

9.5 miles to Bel Royal and the last half mile was back to the Gunsite.

Maxim gel - one pouch lasted the run - taking about a third every 45 mins or so.
Also used about a litre of water - could have used more.

Quote from Annette:
"An excellent run; Sal looked really comfortable and strong throughout.
Now wearing her 3rd of 4th pair of new shoes...'theses are definitely the ones' - looks like it's a hit for the new Nike Air Pegasus! Yay!'

FACTS - they are my 3rd pair - the first ones were worn once on the first run and then the others on each run until yesterday - great shoes but just too tight!

Starting to feel more like a runner today as opppsed to a plodder - and it was just as well we did not postpone it till the afternoon; it was torrential rain most of the afternoon!!!!
