It is a BEAUTIFUL day outside and I am in the process of taking the morning off, if for no other reason than to allow Kim to enjoy it vicariously when she gets back from work! Bearing in mind that I had to scrape the ice of my windscreen this morning, meeting Daren at Jack [...] My legs were only vaguely stiff from yesterday, but I thought it prudent to disperse the lactic acid regardless in view of the increased pace. Thus I ran an easy mile on the machine in 9:11. I’d not intended to run so far yesterday so I thought I’d better run off the lactic acid this morning. Slow start but my legs warmed up after a while and I completed a mile in 9:51. Rather than suffer the ignominy of walking like a 1970′s robot tomorrow, which may have been somewhat disconcerting for the team in the strategy session I’m facilitating, I jumped on the machine for a mile to disperse any lactic acid which may have accumulated. One big Monday morning smile in 9.46. PS. It’s Chinese New Year on [...] T’was the week before Christmas and all through the snow, the crazies were running shouting YEE, HA and HO; wearing bright lime green trainers or twee Santa hats, they dashed through the snow like a herd of mad cats. It was a whole day since my previous run, so I felt quite privileged to be [...] In view of time (apologies again Daren!) and starting from the bottom of the hill, we opted to run our intended route in the reverse direction. Thus we ran across the main road into New Way Lane and left up into Wellcombe Bottom, before tackling the steep side of Wolstenbury Hill. I thought this was [...] … and I mean, quite literally, too early! I dropped Kim near to the station and hurried off to get to Jack & Jill ahead of Daren, who I knew only had a short time to run this morning. When I got there the car park was closed and couple of workmen were busy looking [...] I’m not sure what flavour of weather front blew across this morning, but it sure was wet outside. Meanwhile, in the land of the warm & cosy running machine, I ran a de-lactic mile in 9:04. Our friends Jo & Simon very kindly gave me free reign with my hedge trimmer yesterday and I spent around 4 hours giving my upper body and core stability muscles a really great workout! However, among the trees, bushes and hedges I tackled were two 15-foot holly trees and I now have some idea why [...] Just a quick mental note to self: ran an easy mile on Monday morning in 9:05. Busy week! |
