Just watched the girls win Olympic gold in the rowing (brilliant) and thought right - what a great time to show myself what I can now do. W2R3. Why on earth was today was so much more of a struggle than usual when I felt so great before leaving the house? Perhaps I should take up rowing!

I had a tough run today too stridingedge, I think it's just something that happens now & then, a combination of factors. It was hot even first thing, so I'm blaming the heat, but that doesn't explain why my legs felt leaden. Oh well, up & onwards! :-)
