Sunday LSR

Today i  fancied going to Tower bridge along the river via greenwich ; crossing the bridge; heading for greenwich foot tunnnel and coming back that way. I reckoned circa 17ms. bollocks foot tunnel closed so back to tower bridge and home that way- 21.5ms in the end. the last four miles were quite taxing.

Little Juliette

she has a stomach bug, it's only a matter of time until i get it. sunday's LSR maybe on ICE. i might have to cram it in in the week somehow.  i might try a run to work via tower bridge, but not along the river. MAP!!!

Fire Safety day in Reading

Interesting day i guess. not big on  work evening parties, but slept well. did 7ms in gym tread mill as flat out as i could . I think average mile time around 8.30. i was  tired afterwards but recovered quite quickly in terms of body temperature at least.

Blackheath

I had to persuade myself to get out after work. My stomach was upside down a little and i felt tired. still. did my 7.6m blackheath loop, running past those old haunts, a salut for danny.  It was a  really slow run but very enjoyable, in  fact the most relaxed i've been running for  weeks. I even tried some of that posture chi running stuff again and it seemed to work. back to the haunt s, Kidbrook Park road changed my life really, and i only lived there for 18 months. I met my wife there, met stephen, moved to london: So it's great to run up that road,it really is. it would be  lovely to see max and mel again , i think they might want their pictures back though!

just over 10K after work

garmin connect is down so I'm not completley sure but i think i did a PB on this tonight.  i was trying to slow myself down, but all splits were well under 9/m I ran through ladywell so it was slightly longer that 10k and also it was dark and some of it is effectivly cross country. there were a couple of decent hills involved too. the reason i was trying to slow myself down was the plan n said'easy' alhough I was still a little short of the required distance. time was the issue really as s needed to go out. There was a younger runner who over toook me in the last mile and although quicker, not that much quicker!
