Well the weather hadn't improved much on Sunday, plus I had family stuff to do, so I put my long run off until Monday afternoon, back in Brum. Of course when I got back the weather here was pretty horrible too, but not so bad as to preclude an outing. Unfortunately, unloading the car I put my back out! As a result, I never got out Monday or Tuesday, but felt that it had recovered sufficiently for an gentle run on Wednesday - usual route, anti-clockwise. As it turned out, my running buddy Joe has had a virus so he wasn't on top form either, so there was no hurry at all.
I'm about 16 miles down on my training schedule but I'm certainly not in any hurry to catch up, not least because I have a race at the weekend. I'm not sure what my approach will be for the Action Heart 5 Mile, but as it seems by all accounts not to be too 'PB-friendly' I may just try to enjoy it!
I'll hopefully get a run in tomorrow, but what sort of distance and pace it will be will depend on how I feel. After that, I'll rest on Friday and Saturday, volunteering at Cannon Hill parkrun.
I've been lifting my mood by listening to a fabulous album - Becoming a Jackal, by Villagers. Not exactly a floor-filler, just wonderful tunes and lyrics.
