A terribly exciting 24 hours in our house, particularly for Lily. We awoke this morning to find some drunken oik had crashed his/her car int the fence across the road and demolished it (sadly without demolishing the gargantuan leylandii that blocks the sun for about two hours every summer evening), then moments later K discovered a little "gift" from one of the cats in the form of a decapitated mouse on our bedroom floor. Both of these thrilling events were eclipsed, however, by the news that someone had done a poo in the swimming baths during Lily's swimming lesson. And she saw it!! She's been making songs up about it ever since - that's my girl...
Well after all that excitement there wasn't anything else to be done but to pass the time before the rugby starts with a few miles recovery - so I ran to Halton Easy and back, no concern for pace, just keeping the HR down and giving my legs a of a stretch - ended up averaging 8:17 pace with HR down at 116bpm
This seems to be the big difference between this campaign and the last on in 07 - keeping these intermediate runs going at slow pace but just adding up the miles, and gradually lengthening the harder sessions. Even with a day off tomorrow that's 56m for the week, so I feel justified in a day off for a few beers and a few laughs with some old friends.
Back to it Monday, mind...
