15 minutes more by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details
A bit later than planned, I did the second 15-minute session this afternoon. Damned cold, in that it-hurts-to-take-deep-breaths kind of way, but lovely sunshine. Are we getting an early Spring?
I'm pleased to report I'm not getting the two-days-later aches and pains and general messages from the body telling me not to be such a prat. Stretching before and after each session like a good boy and generally trying to do what the people who know about these things say you should.
I managed to do an extra .04 of a mile compared to the last session. That looks like a rolling-about-on-the-floor laughably small improvement, but on the road I can tell you I finished substantially closer to home than before. When you're looking at half marathon or marathon differences, these kinds of improvements in pace really do add up. Indeed , this equates to 9:45-minute miling, compared to 10 minutes a mile on Saturday, saving about 4 minutes over a complete half marathon. And I expect my pace to improve significantly over time.
Spending more quality time my sister and my new nephew tomorrow, with the next session due on Friday. In the meantime, I will be mostly spending my time on the completely soul-destroying pursuit of finding a new job.

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.
