It is cold, dark and windy but out I went for my 4km run, it didn't seem to matter which direction I went I was always running against the wind! It took me 25:38 for my run with my fastest km being in 6:05 which is my fastest to date so I am very happy with that.

Parkrun on Saturday to finish off this week :)

Thank you, there is no way i can maintain that kind of pace for longer distances though. I am overjoyed with the small improvements I am making :)

25mins with a head wind in every direction? Wow, just think how fast you'd have been had you done that backwards!

Well done for getting out in the cold. It's been a pretty hard week with this wintery chill so to get a fastest Km in the middle of it is really impressive.

Thank you, I will NEVER be able to run as fast as you but I figure my little legs do ok considering I am only 5ft 1 as they have to take a LOT of steps to get me around :)
