Please forgive me reader, for I have sinned… I’ve not come to confession for 24 days!
I have a vague excuse, with eight 5am starts (two of which I got home circa 11pm), ten 6am starts and way more than half of the daylight hours of the three weekends spent working at my desk. This is an excuse mind, not a complaint… it’s been a generally fun, engaging and challenging few weeks!
And I did manage to fit in two runs, although one was only a mile and took me more than ten minutes, if the hieroglyphics on my whiteboard are correctly interpreted… average 5.88 mph. From memory it was an early Monday morning antidote to the lethargy that not running creates. I think that it did its job, though I clearly didn’t hang around afterwards for long enough to record this fact.
The other, last Sunday morning was more energetic though, alas, still on the machine. I set the speed to 7 mph and ran for 45 minutes, clocking up 5.28 miles. The average works out to something like 7.04 mph, as I increased the speed at the end to compensate for the time that the belt takes to get up to speed at the start… and I got a bit enthusiastic!
There, that’s my confession. Now for some photos:
