Back to work ...

Back to work today so I had an early morning run. Gave up on the speed session as it rained overnight and the flat would have been too wet and slippery. Plus I am hampered by only owning an analogue watch with no second hand. Is there any point doing a speed session without a stopwatch of some sort? (I don't know cos I never really do them, which could explain why I am not getting any faster)

So, I did 8.2 kms up the road. Very humid and 18 degrees although it was only 6.00am. I felt a bit sluggish on the way up - 29 minutes, then 26 minutes on the way back (more downhill). The achilles is still a little sore, but no other excuses. I wore the old shoes, I need to get over my bad feeling about the new shoes!

Saw two brush turkeys. Running pace: 6.3m/km
