It was thrashing down this morning, but I'd already had too many rest days since Monday. Blame a new semester and grand-parenting duties. I put it off for a while but then started to get hungry so thought I better get out there. I don't like to run after I've eaten. The rain always sounds worse on the window and outside it was cool but the canal was nice and quiet. Mainly me and the ducks. The first eight as hard as usual, but now I know about the 'toxic ten', I push on through. I know when I reach the iron bridge the heaviness will have gone off and it did. The last 15 were not so hard and I could have gone on but instead I pushed myself from a shuffle to an actual jog for the last 60 seconds. Week 7 here I come!
