Happy Thanksgiving to you across the pond.
A.M. Med-long run day and it dawned warm, wet and muddy. A pleasure not to feel cold today. England had crashed out of the Euro 2008 last night after a truly dismal performance and my concentration on the running wasn't there intially. Up the hill and into the woods and the first thing I saw was a dead deer across the track. A few seconds later and the hunter's 4x4 was following me to pick up the carcass. Trying not to look like a deer I settled into a steady rhythm enjoying the downhills and cursing the uphills, a normal run. Felt tired again at the end and I look forward to a recovery day tomorrow. Total 23,3k in 1:52:11, av pace 4:49/k or 7:45/mi. Enjoy your turkey. |
