6m in 42min with 6 x 200m at 5:30. over the usual Hyde Park loop. fitted in the sprints (or that's how they seemed to me) at around mile intervals. got very tired before the fourth one, but waited a little and took it on a downhill. the first couple and definitely the fifth were down near the 5:00 marker - for reasons of youthful exuberance, and not sense.
was to take this run with another workmate, but he backed out mid-morning to go but tickets for a summer festival, and i took the option to include a little speedwork. did consider an out-and-out speed session up and down the hill in Green Park, but thought better of it, because i was a little tired and not feeling totally on top of my game. as well as that, i'd had a 'breakfast briefing' up town and hadn't thought enough about water intake. it was a very warm and humid day, so going out and sprinting without having drunk a good amount wouldn't have been too clever. did stop once for water on the run i did..
day was pretty full on, and when i got back it was straight into tidy-up mode, as Poll has a kids group round here tomorrow morning and my parents arrive in the evening. consequently, only just sat down now at 9pm.. and very tired. could do no better than to slink off to bed now and read my book. however, there's some delicious chocolate torte in the fridge that's calling to me..
