I was expecting to be slower since it was my third consecutive day of running. Indeed I started slower, half split was 14:17, but got a little faster on the way back. Maybe because of the weather - it was cold and windy, my hands were freezing and I wanted to get back home. Noticed that I did a little better on the long incline (mind you, it's a very tame incline, maybe 1%, but these days I feel every little bump).
Tomorrow will be off, since I have to go to Heathrow to pick up Lisa from her flight back. She has been moaning about the training and how tired she always is there. No wonder - she is swimming 4 hours a day in doubles, plus land training. She has competition this weekend, and I think she will swim a bunch of PRs, although I'm preparing her for a possibility of no PRs as well, in case she hasn't recovered from heavy training.
Total time: 27:55 (9:00 pace). |
