Whilst I am generally up at 6am weekdays, I was clearly out of practice for early morning running, since Nick was gently tapping on the front door before I had even finished getting ready on Friday morning.
We took a road run around Burgess Hill that started at a pace that I had also forgotten… fast… such that I had to quickly deploy the sea anchors to slow us down to to a more conversational pace. It was cold enough for longs, two layers and a jacket, hat and gloves… but of course the irrepressible Nick was wearing shorts!
After an enjoyable run we stopped for a brief chat before we went our seperate ways for breakfast and I then ran on back to the house. A total of 5.2 miles in 46 minutes including our stationary chat, 6.78mph.
