Well done Sweetie it's rarely perfect conditions for racing any distance and a mile is hard work.

I suppose I had good conditions for my Virtual Mile yesterday. It was done as part of a longer run, but it was a gentle downhill run although I had a few tight corners, and car/wayward pedestrians to avoid. A SB by 2 seconds which would be amazing given the leg problems I have had, but not amazing due to the slope. I guess I ought to have an honest try tomorrow, but that will be on a partly overgrown trail which might be a bit soft/muddy after today's prolonged heavy rain. |

Don't overdo the running Flatlander do what feels right and you put the effort into yesterday's mile despite it sloping downhill.

That's my thinking, so I doubt that I will try again tomorrow.

Not an optimal day but the month is almost over, almost didn't go out during lunch at work now, since it was proper showers and quite windy. But, had i waited until tonight, the attempt had not been done i think. Well, i went out and took it serious anyway, at the level i could today, and it became a 6 sec PB. So good effort still! |

For not feeling like it Bowman πΈπͺ you did well to do that mile justice and achieve a PB.
