Sakura Breeze

Today has been the kindest day of the year so far, weather wise. No sunshine of course, but mildest day for months, 11c and not much wind.

After breaking my PB in the storm the other day, I timed myself today; 42:44.

I dunno what's going on exactly, considering I feel I have trained about half as much this winter as last. But i'm pleased. If this continues then it will be a good summer.

Now that icy roads should become A less frequent occurence, I hope to get back on the bicycle. However there is often a snowy period of weather in March, so I wouldn't be surprised if today is just a blip like one day we had last February.. a lot of snow soon followed during March.

The grass is still mushy and short, but I hit with the tennis racquet today for half an hour before I went running.

Yesterday I wore my stopwatch while on run, just out of curiousity. It is many months since I have worn it.

The weather yesterday was pretty unpleasant with very strong wind and sharp showers of rain, 6c. So why did I clock a PB?

At the turn, just before halway, I was shocked to see I was under twenty minutes, not only cos of the weather, but because since last July I haven't did as much training.

My previous best was 44:14
Yesterday I did 44:05

It makes me wonder what I will do when the weather improves a bit in April May.

Still not firing on all cylinders training-wise, quite intermittent.

Something wasn't right this morning. I had to pull up for a rest after about a mile. Was able to complete the remaining four miles okay, but a pretty downtempo affair.

Waz gwam? Dunno, possibly dust allergens. I disturbed some fine dust yesterday and maybe inhaled it. Dust mites and all that malarky, they make my nose run and give me difficulty in breathing sometimes, I often wrap a scarf over my face like a bandit when it's time to sweep the floor.

Sweep is a funny word for me, because it means sweep. Which to you means sleep. But since there are no you's ever here in this blog it doesn't matter

Another scenic pic I took while out running the Saturday before last.
