Wednesday, 9 July 2008

Slow recovery run into work this morning. It was very chilly when I started off at about 9:00 am and given it had been 3.6 degrees about an hour earlier, I am sure it was still only a few degrees warmer

Tried to really regulate a nice slow pace through the first part. I was feeling fairly good for a slow run for a change. Got to Park Street and decided change the recovery session to a tempo session. So from the 20 minute mark, I decided to do a ten minute surge

All was going well until I hit bang on the five minute mark and I got stopped at a traffic light. So a short respite before I was off again. Managed another five minute stretch with heavy legs and was glad to finish off

Then I was having one of those days. For the last ten minutes of my run, I was getting caught at every traffic light that I came to. So while I did complete a 45 minute run (pleasingly two minutes faster than usual), a lot of the last part was virtually every two minutes getting stopped

TOTAL DISTANCE : about nine kilometres
