Post watchign / cheering on runners in Half marathon in Bristol, a first run in my new trainers, Mizuno Ovation or something. Started easy but quickly found a rhythm, stretched out, felt even better, pushed on hills, still felt great, got to 35 mins at Whitchurch and was starting to feel it. Pace running on grass til last hills, where I finally accepted I was done in, and jogged in, still not bad sub 4:30 kms on a road & grass run with 133m climb according to Mapometer: http://gb.mapometer.com/running/route_2357093.html

Stress busting run across Voct park to steps on Totterdown. Did three circuits of these steps, which are steep & broken up, and the run down involved a really springy grass verge which i utilised to run as fast and smoothly as possible. KNackered - jogged back quite slowly after. Tired from work & life too - will take a couple of days off. Shit up hills! Out of breath.

Southville running club again - plus jog there & back. session was 45 mins - 10 min jog to Portway, then 10 mins hard up portway, turn round, 10 mins back. 500m markers on road meant i could see i was within 2 mins at each, so over 5km run in 20 mins. Pretty much won the whole thing, but died in last minute & burned off - no worries! Felt great.
