Back on the road

It takes more than a cold to hold me back.

Just did a rather nice 5.6 miles (just over 9ks) is 49 minutes. Very pleased. OK it is not as far as I was hoping, Sundays are supposed to be the days for my long runs as part of the training for the marathon, but it is better than nothing. But I did vastly improve my pace from the last few runs from around 9 1/2 to around 9 minutes per mile.

It does mean that I have to make up more miles over the next few weeks after missing out on a few valuable runs over the last 4 days but it is good to know that it is not too much of a set back.

It was obviously a good night for running - plenty of other people out and about - obviously a more sociable time than 5.30. Oh and I ditched the woolly hat and gloves - regretted the decision about the gloves for the first mile or so, but not for long.

It is good to be back
