Lyrics: Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green

Current theme, Winter.

Yesterday's song: Underneath the Tree, Kelly Clarkson
m.youtube.com

So, the furthest I had run since February 23rd was 4k; thought I would make that up to 5k today by running in the local community Sunday 5k (2k option available). Started off steadily and gradually got into a rhythm on the flat fast course (same course as used for club 5k series). Had hoped to be around 30-31 minutes, so very happy indeed with 28:10. Not sure where that came from! Managed to latch onto someone and we largely ran together, picking up a third passenger for the train at around half way. Could have run a little faster but I had no intention of risking sprinting on the track at the end.

Good morning :)

Well done, @alehouse, and a good choice of song too.

What: An hour or so of easy running.
Why: My week looks highly unbalanced and some easy running will improve it. And also, my legs hurt.
Last hard: Yesterday's parkrun.

Morning

What short run of an hour
Why calf acting up
Last hard stretching twice during run.
Lyrics yes

Compression socks on and hoping they help.

Lyrics no!

Ale first race in a while, well done! Careful with the fast stuff though!
Roughish ferry last night left us feeling all at sea rest of the evening. So a solo 5m this morning rather later than usual. That will do!
