After yesterday's effort, my legs had no after-effects, so I was off again. I decided to leave it until the afternoon, to leave as long a gap between the runs as possible. Usual shoes, usual route. Weather was fine, but very windy. Again warmed up on MFC Cardio Workout. I used to think it was really rubbish, but having used it a few times, my opinion of it is going up.
Anyway, the run. Started with a false start when an extra long shoes lace started whipping my leg. Sorted that out, then started again. Once more I was planning for this to be a gentle run, but again I went off too fast, even faster than normal, this time maxing 8.4mph. After 1/4mile I had to slow, with breathing problems. I kept up at about 6mph though for most of the rest of the way. However, I did have to stop when crossing a road. A work colleague driving home noticed me running, and was just about to turn into the road where she lived. Rather than let me run on, they turned and stopped in front of me to have a chat. I had no breath to talk, she quickly noticed and drove on to her house. Luckily I only stopped for about a few seconds. Otherwise I may have lost my rhythm and had trouble getting going again.
Stats according to Garmin: 1.01 miles in 9mins 36.74, Average speed 6.3mph.
