One of those days when I had to get the intervals in early or there's no way they'd be done. Also didn't want to depress myself with perhaps underperformance on the usual circuit after a weekend of much improvement. So went to Inverleith Park and had no distances (left) to run (ha ha) but ran the times for 800, 600, 400, 200, 200 - Managed to do the same distance in the same time for the 200s. Ran for 2.40, 2.00, 1.20, 0.30, 0.30. Rest was 90 secs every time. Felt alright, stomach still wobbly but legs feeling a bit stronger. Chest a bit tight but a whole world different to last week.
Recovery 12:14 [3]

Rest between intervals and the jog back to the lab. Decided to walk home with Rob in the lovely evening rather than cycle. Looked at shoes on Princes Street. Mmm, shoes. It's been so long since I bought nice shoes. Or any clothes for that matter. Restraint appears to be a striking new feature of mine.
