Into work, plus ten minutes of strengthening exercises for the old left quad, and some hip flexor stretching whilst waiting for the bank to open. I got a few funny looks.

Home from work, oscillating every ten seconds between the idea of doing intervals or not doing intervals.

Decided to bribe myself with a syrup waffle (half before intervals, half after) to make myself go and achieve something with my day. Damn cold, so did a warm up lap with strides interspersed.

The business bit! Did 3 x 200, 2 x 1200, 3 x 200. Felt excellent in the legs and chest, not so good in the old stomach (it's been a while!) Still, the whole session felt eons better than last week, more fluid, stronger, and the sprints felt driven rather than struggling. Kitch appeared halfway for some much appreciated support, and before I knew it, it was over. Dunno what the fuss was about.

Having read Tullie's diary I'm glad I was late and missed the Harie session. 12 x 400m - you what?!

Slightly extended jog back with Kitch along Sciennes. Got home and didn't really feel like the second half of that syrup waffle after all. Brill.

Good stretch out after intervals. Feeling chuffed after the first good session in a very, very long time.
