Finally getting around to my first run after a hard 3 days at work. Still quite achy and wasn't really looking forward to it, but the weather was lovely, a tropical 10°C!!!! so set off on my way.
It was an interval run designed to improve my speed and pace, with short distances at a fast pace and slow recoveries in between. Unfortunately when I downloaded the plan from Runnersworld direct to my Garmin GPS, it was actually different to the scheduled run I was expecting. It was supposed to be 10 intervals, but I ended up doing the 8 intervals that were on the watch. I hit the pace on 5 of the intervals and the others were a bit slower, but overall was quite happy with them, considering I'd not done a run since Saturday and have been aching back and feet since then and I think I made up the difference though by going for a 10 mile+ walk with Sarah this afternoon, along the Trent and canal.
Looking at the forecast I've got a few milder days coming up before it starts to get cooler again at the weekend, so had better take full advantage of them although I am working another long shift tomorrow.
