I let myself down yesterday by crying off at the last minute. After rushing home from work I got sat down and just lost the motivation to get moving. I blamed my aching thigh muscles, which I put down in part to Sundays race and part to the core stability exercises I did on Monday evening, but really I think it was more to do with the cold damp weather and York City on the radio.
There was no question of sofa-surfing tonight, as Joe came round as usual for our Wednesday run.
Same route again, clockwise this time, and it felt pretty good and easy going, and checking my watch about half a mile from home I realised it would be one of our better efforts. I said to Joe that we might have a PB tonight and all he said was "hopefully!", so he was clearly also aware that it was going well. When we finished we knew it was pretty good but could not remember what our best was. Having now checked my records on Good Run Guide I find it was our second fastest on this route, going clockwise, since I started recording training runs last September - the fastest coincidentally being the first, on 29th September.
All of which - including Sunday's race - seems to bode well for me in the Centurion Grand Prix this Sunday. I'll put a few good miles in tomorrow, and rest Friday and Saturday (volunteering at Cannon Hill parkrun again).
