Base run - 3.65 miles, avg pace 9:00mile/min

I thought tonight’s run would be hard work, but it turned out to be pretty good.

I’ve been away all weekend as it was my 36th birthday last Friday and my present from my 6 year old son was a weekend away with just him! I’d been trying to take him camping last year but due to the amount of rain we had there was never a time that was guaranteed to be dry… so he’d said to my wife that he wanted to take me away for my birthday.

So, it was a pretty busy weekend… and on top of that the clocks went forward last night. In effect I was up at about 5 o’clock this morning.

A Sunday evening run therefore didn’t fill me with much excitement. But once I got started I realised I felt good and strong. I had a lot of breath overall the run felt really easy. Footstrike also seems to be getting closer and closer to my centre of gravity.
