Progression run on the mill before work. Time to get going. London is in 18 weeks. I'll start Pfitz 18/55 tomorrow tweaked up to 60, using the first few weeks to build up.

Easy run at SHS. I'd planned to do a tempot run but the glute would not loosen, and, worse, I felt like I was post-marathon in terms of pure fatigue. So I bagged the tempo run for later in the week (Christmas morning?)

Hills around Jenny's house. She'd described them as monsters. She wasn't kidding. Joined by a friendly loose dog for the last mile and a half or so, which turned out to be a good thing later when we encountered some other loose dogs who were considerably less friendly. But they concerned themselves with my canine companion instead of me. Wound up with a 10:30ish average including an extended hike to the hop of the worst hill.
