New year, new excuses?

[Seafront Plodder]

I don't have the luxury of gently and serenely increasing my mileage by 10% per week, so last night I went out to go all out, as it were.

The two hacking 3-milers I did earlier this week are now, hopefully, history. So remembering to start slowly, I set off into the strong wind, promising myself that the return leg would be with it and I would enjoy it!

I upped the pace to a fast jog for the last 1/2 mile to stop myself from going on, and finished with 4.48 miles.

A big improvement in terms of distance and lung capacity, which sets me up nicely to once again throw the rulebook out of the window and increase the run by somewhere exceeding 10% this weekend. More later....
