That went REALLY well. I know there's rain due later, so headed out earlyish this morning. There was a blustery wind blowing, changing direction all the time and making things a little unsteady - I'd just get used to leaning into the wind to make any progress at all and it would die, or swing around and I'd be leaning on nothing and almost go head over heels. However, the pace I managed to set today was really, really pleasing and didn't strain me at all. As on Thursday, all smooth and co-ordinated and, if obviously not effortless, really easy.
I almost broke 9 minute mile pace and it's the longest run I've managed to sustain anywhere near that kind of pace on. It bodes really well for tomorrow's half marathon, which I should complete now in something close to 2 hours. Given the patchiness of my recent training, this is hugely encouraging as I enter the last 2 months leading up to April's big event!

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.
