Medium run

Went out Wednesday night, on my previous short route.

I think the rather long run on Monday tired me out a little. I had a funny 'abs ache'; like they'd been exercised and ached. Not sure how you warm them down...

And it was really coled, so it was a short one. And rather quick too. 2.5 miles, 18 minutes, which puts me 95 mins. Hour and a half. Seems a rather rapid improvement. Will continue to measure.

Big run, cold night

So, it's Monday, and I was feeling energetic, despite the cold. It's probably the coldest day of the year so far, so cold that the heater in the land rover didn't catch up, and I drove to and from work with cold fingers.

Nevertheless, tackled the big one. I'd planned it out beforehand, as well as numerous other maps using google maps and the marvellous line tool. So I knew it was 4.5 miles. Well, I knew it last week when I mapped it. I forgot it by this evening. Going down the big hill was a quick start, coming back up lots of little hills was the slow finish.

Still, 48 minutes. Which works out as 2.4 hours for the half marathon.
