Target 40

After a lovely dinner with Stuart & Grace last night, we had a lazy start to the day… in fact, I only just got up in time to load Kim’s car so that she could go off to London… and this before I’d even had a cup of coffee!

Since then I’ve had an atypically lazy day… hmmm… well aside from cleaning the shower room, doing the laundry, sorting out some bits in the garage etc.  I do find it difficult to sit still!

Though I was too lazy to go out for a run, I did manage to do a quick five miles on the machine… though I regretted setting myself a target of sub-40 minutes.  It would have been nice to have just plodded along, but this self-enforced time constraint meant that I had to crank up the speed beyond comfortable.

The music on the stereo today was Dire Straits and though the beat was good enough to keep me spinning along nicely, there were none of the spine-tingling musical moments that helped me sprint out last week.

So 5 miles in 39.42, an average of about 7.6 mph.  No photos… too lazy!
