Ouch ...

Distance: 1 mile
Time: 9m20s

Feeling guilty for not running for a few days, I set off this evening at a fairly scorching rate (for me!), covering the first half mile in 4m25s. The second half was slower but still under 5 minutes. My legs felt great at the end, and could easily have gone on longer, but I was too out of breath. Now that I'm getting fitter (well building up muscles in my legs again), I think I need to work on my diet. Cycling regularly, which I start next week, will also help improve my cardiovascular fitness which is obviously lacking at the moment! I also need to get back to swimming again.

No "long" run this week, so several "short" ones (a mile each) for now, until I get back into to my normal routine.
