2019 - will one thread be enough for the whole year?

Got another tidy couple of runs in, but failed on the third. Will just have to get up early and get it in first thing - no more excuses.

Well, I say tidy. The tempo run was again a desperate attempt to stay under 8MM, which I managed for a couple of miles but then blew up. It occurred to me that this has been my target tempo pace since 2005, when I first found out what a tempo run is. 14 years is a long time to be trying to keep up the same pace. Time to relax it to 8:15 or even 8:30, I think. Either way though, it was still a good, hard effort, which is what really matters.
