Slightly easier.....

W8R3 this morning was slightly easier than W8R1 last Wednesday or W8R2 on Friday. Even though I completed them all, Wednesday and Friday's runs left my thighs leaden and my legs feeling about 6" shorter than normal on the long walk back from the far end of the aerodrome. Today I turned around at 14 minutes so I wasn't facing that long trudge back and even though I had the wind in my face going up the (very slight) incline (rather than behind me going down it) it felt quite refreshing. Even managed to open up my stride for the (tiny) burst of speed for the final minute.
