Distance training run club in the evening. For the first time it’s actually light when we get there. It makes a very pleasant change to start the session in natural light. We have a weigh in and everyone seems a tad lighter than when we started. Do some laps of the cricket field and some stretching before heading off down Gain Lane to repeat the 5k time trial that we did at the start of the course. Unfortunately, Tony can’t make it, Mark is injured and Barney is off enjoying the benefits of life as an academic so for me the sense of racing is missing. We set off in a handicap format and charge down Gain Lane, along the main road and up Woodhall. For the first time in ages I feel free enough to open out and run as quickly as I’m able. I wasn’t wearing a watch, but it felt around twenty minutes. This bodes well for parkrun on Saturday where I can either push myself by chasing after someone faster than me or give George a race.
This is Sophie’s last Thursday session before Paris so she takes an easy run with Liz. She seems confident and reasonably relaxed. Not sure I’ll be this tranquil in two weeks time. I’ve started to think about not getting injured but have decided this isn’t a good state as I’ve still got to get out there and do some miles before London.
Michael’s bought a new running vest for London which looks splendid (on Facebook). I hadn’t really given the vest any thought, just the shoes and socks. I’ll take a couple of vests/shirts and shorts/three quarters and see what the weather is like on the day.
