Training

Same route as my usual long run, up and around Honor Oak and Forest Hill. However, I'd already been to work this time and boy did I piss about trying to get the enthusiasm to run. In the end I did it, but it was by now 4pm and still pretty warm. I didn't feel at my best at all.

In the end, I did it in 58min 10secs - a bit slower than last time which is a tad annoying. I was hoping to keep improving that time. There was more traffic on the roads - by which I mean pedestrians - and I still needed to walk for one minute. Actually, the short walk to get my breath back after a particular hilly bit seems to work quite well, I'm sure I make it up by running quicker afterwards, particularly downhill.

Sweated buckets, though. My t-shirt was most unattractive when peeled off and was summarily dumped in the washing machine!
