February 2005 - Week 3

[Sweder]

Thanks Suzie. Breeze? Strong wind at least I suspect . . .
to be honest I'm pretty stiff today. To be expected after a week off I suppose, but it's still a shock when you stand up and start walking like Herman Munster. Went back to the physio this morning. She was delighted and asked about my time with a wry smile on her face. She runs 3:30 marathons and says that her half marathons work out about the same pace, give or take 10 to 15 seconds per mile. Her secret, she says, is running well within her capability. She's an advoctae of the slow start, and I have to say it worked for me this time. We'll see how quick I am in two weeks at Reading. I don't know if it's a quick course but I should be able to push a little harder sooner in the race by then.
