Friday 15th October

With dinner in the oven I had a choice. Eat dinner, wait 2 hours, then run, or get in the planned mile before tea finished. I chose the latter. This left no time for a warm up, it was straight out into the cold air. That meant my lungs and heart rate hadn't got going properly, and almost straight away the cold air made my chest hurt. I slowed down until it wasn't so bad, and then tried to speed up. I'd made my usual mistake of not taking it steady as planned. Still, although it wasn't blistering pace, it showed I was getting well and truly over the bug. I got home just before tea was ready, got changed, ate (no time for stretching either), and then uploaded the results.



1.02 miles in 9mins 47.62. The time for the mile was 9mins 35.47. Respectable considering I was recovering from the virus,ands hadn't prepared. Next run on Sunday. That one I'll do properly.
