just returned from a great family week in the Loire. but now have to make rapid preparations for a flight tomorrow morning for San Francisco. it's my one big trip of the year, and it just so happens to coincide with the kids half-term this year.
anyway, fitted three runs in over the week - all in the morning and all through some lovely rural settings.. tracks through forest past asparagus pickers.. that sort of thing. the only down-side is that my commitment and drive were way down and i found it really hard to motivate myself before and during the runs. anyhow, for each i put in at least a half-mile sub-6 spurt and totalled 16 miles for the three together. not much but better than nothing. here are the telling details..
30/5 - 6.1m - 42min - 6.52 ave
2/6 - 4.4m - 30min - 6:50 ave
3/6 - 5.6m - 39min - 6:55 ave
so - off to catch some sleep and then directly off to catch a mid-morning flight to SF and then down to Palo Alto and the Stanford campus for a two-day conference. i know that area pretty well now - so hope to fit in at least three morning runs. (read the Dean Karnazes book while away, so would like to think i might bump into him if i get up early enough!)
