Wednesday's run was for 1 hour, rather than 45 minutes. I just did the usual 45 minute run, but ran the whole loop of the forest track. This run was too short, only 55 minutes. I will have to think of a way to increase it.

On these runs my mouth is so dry by the end. I relish the cold drink once I'm back inside. I am concerned about how I will cope for the 2 hour run on Saturday. Maybe I should just repeat the 30 minute loop, 4 times? I could drink more often, but the run would be less interesting.

Last night's run left me feeling the same. It was a good run, but I just felt so drained by the end of it.

Monday's run was again at a slower pace than usual. I took 1 hour 5 mins, rather than the 1 hour flat that I was getting close to before I went to Croatia.

Last night's 30 min run was also relaxed. When I was running home, there was a woman walking on the footpath. I swerved onto the road to avoid her, and she also walked onto the road! So, I needn't have run off the footpath in the first place.

My legs are sore. I'm considering not doing anything on Friday (aside from walking to and from the train station) just to give my legs a rest.

My two runs in the weekend were slow. The 90-minute run is usually one of my better runs, but not this time. By the time I had finished the first "loop" I was already 10 minutes slower than last time. So, instead of doing the 30-minute run as a second loop, I ran to Goirkestraat and around the block.

With the Saturday run still in my mind, I ran the Sunday run slowly too. It is usually my worst run of the week, anyway. Keeping the slow pace was a good idea.
