Another poor run in a week which is turning into a write-off, and I did something which happens once in a blue moon (and probably should happen more often than it does) - cut short a run because I was feeling terrible (I was aiming for 2 hours). I tend to view doing such a thing as a sign of failure above the shoulders, and can be too bloody-minded for my own good. It's a consequence of having made relentlessness the defining feature of my career.

The run itself started poorly, settled into a grind in its middle stages along the Yarra - not brilliant but not horrible - but fell apart around the 90-minute mark. At times I thought I might have to start walking but at least avoided that. I'm hoping that all this is a temporary consequence of having a cold (not a particularly bad one in terms of cold-like symptoms) and beign run-down from an overloaded schedule in recent weeks. A rest day from running tomorrow should help.

One pity of it was that I wasted as nice a morning for running as you'll find in a Melbourne February these days.
