The agony and the agony

Another 25 minute threshold session by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details - link to map and stats

Late post about yesterday's run. Less bitterly cold than other recent sessions, partly I guess because it was later in the day than the 6am ones I'm squeezing in before work. And blimey, what an improvement. Sub 9 minute miling. Sub, in fact, 8 minute 30 miling!!! A great boost and really made me hopeful for today's long run.

Which, I regret to say, is not now happening. I just can't face it. I was diagnosed in October with advanced periodontal disease and was referred by my dentist for a second opinion before he went ahead and removed what he said was a large number of teeth. The referral never resulted in anything and, after some chasing, the dentist has referred me again. So potentially another 3 months of waiting. And all week one of my back teeth has been giving me serious pain. Eating is actually an eye-watering experience. It's spreading down my neck and up to my ear. Couple this with a tremendously fun but somewhat drunken evening yesterday with my dearest friends and I'm in no fit state.

Will be attempting the weekday runs before work, starting tomorrow, but 12 miles is entirely beyond me and I'm wrapping up on the sofa for some trash telly.

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
