Yelling intervals.  Second interval on first set was hard, but then I hit the pace on second set, so must have been a matter of warming up.

No idea of pace as I'm still waiting for my new Garmin to arrive -- hopefully next week!

So this is my first week on this new blog site.  I was/am a member of another site, but I like the simplicity of this one.  The other site is busy, both in terms of content and number of users, so it just feels...well...crowded and a bit fiddly to use.  Too much information.  I like this one as it really seems focussed on running, miles and results.  I've read a few of the blogs, and here's what I've noticed so far:

A lot of members live in Utah.  Utah looks like a beautiful place to run. 

People are generally faster than me.  Some of you are really fast.  I'm hoping that will inspire me to raise my game a bit.

Some of you have large families and are still really fast (including mums of 4-7 children) which means I can no longer use my one child as an excuse for being slow or not to train!

Quick 5K on the treadmill today at 8:51 AP.

The weather has taken a turn for the worse (that's not why I did the run on the treadmill, it's not that bad!) but I am contemplating gloves and wooly hat....in MAY.. and there's rain.  Kind of reminds me of how hard it can be to keep the running going through the winter here in England.  But also reminded me that it's easy to go running when you're in the mood.  The challenge is having the discipline to do it even when you don't feel like it.  Thought I wasn't in the mood today, but got in the mood after a few minutes.  More miles in the bank.

Fitness seems to be improving just from having done a bit more running this week.  Did easy 2.5 to gym then  2.5YD intervals on the way back.  Didn't really push hard on the intervals and still no clue of my pace but maybe 70% effort level if I'm honest-- can't wait for that Garmin to arrive.
