I went for my first run in 10 days on Wednesday night.  In spite of the light rain and the moderate breeze, it was not too cold.  I started off a bit too fast and wasn't able to kick into the final stretch.  However, my time of just over 25 minutes was pleasing for the 5.4km run (Canning Town loop).  It was an almost identical time to the last time I did this run, a month ago.

I did half an hour on the rowing machine tonight and made 7,468 metres.  I expect that I will soon be above 7,500 metres for this.  I have a good focus when I am rowing.  I have found that if I break the half hour down into 2 minutes pieces, then it is easy to manage.  Even when there is 10 minutes to go, I don't get distracted by how close the finish is.  I just think about there being 5 more segments to go, and I continue rowing as I have done for the 10 segments before that.

I have thought about getting a more precise measurement of my longest Sunday run, then setting out some markers for each km.  They would need to be big enough for me to see, but not conspicuous enough for the council (or whoever) to take them down.  Then I can judge my pace during these runs, just like on race day.
