Hey my friend

After catching up on the football and clearing the ironing i ran 9.92 miles this morning at 8 min/mile pace which is SLOW for me but was actually quite comfortable, and i took a gel which im convinced has helped me be less achy as it contained electrolytes etc.

cooked a lovely chicken and veg tonite and heading to bed soon - the dreaded early alarm beckons.

hope you are well :-)

Hiya
well a boring week mainly catching up on stuff. I ran 7 miles on weds in under 51 mins, and a tough 10K around Hyde Park. The first straight had a very cold headwind so 4 laps of that stopped any decent time, but 43.52 is still 7.04 a mile which in the circumstances is ok.

tomorrow, finish the last of the ironing and head out for 9.5 miles slowly, maybe with a gel as a booster at the halfway mark. weather looks terrible so will get it done by 10 or 11am. Cooking roast chicken later in the day.

How are you doing?

Thanks for spotting my mallard

I’m curious about dipping when the air temp is 20 degrees or mor higher than water temp,to me it might be more difficult to

Going for a snowy dip in the Atlantic

More coming Wed and Friday
No place to put the stuff😂
The sun is shining though and that always makes me happy❤️

tough 10k  at Regents Park, it was raining then it stopped, but my legs still ached from yesterday. 44.24. 32/300

Thank you for the grey squirrel!
I’d be happy if all I gained was 4 lbs, I could starve myself for a month and still gain weight. Good luck with all of that, of course after your wonderful dinner tonight! 

My pleasure!

5k parkrun today, not my usual one (flooded still) but still had a properly muddy bit and 2 nice downhills. Very enjoyable and 18/205 in 23.27. Then a supermarket shop and now chilling before lunch and a pile of ironing awaits.

how is your weekend?
