Running long (road/xc) 1:18:20 [3] 15.1 km (5:11 / km)

Hugo hadn't been helping us sleep that well earlier this week, we noticed a new tooth has come thru so that probs explains it. I did plan on taking it easy next week but that was moved forward accordingly.

I want to try and get my 2 hour fitness back over the next few months so today I went a bit further than usual. At only a steady effort it's difficult to say for sure but it did feel more natural on the well-surfaced trails. In fact to start with it felt a bit too loose if anything but after warning up it felt both straight and solid.

I had yet more problems with my breathing which is starting to get worrying because I wasn't pushing that hard but I still had to keep a stitch at bay for 20 minutes or so. A few hours later I took Hugo for a walk and felt the stitch coming back when going uphill. A few weeks ago when I had similar problems it was as I thought - I was in fact a little ill and the runs brought on a very minor cough which lasted a day or two. Now I can only guess that it is due to lack of sleep.

Anyhow this was nearly 5 minutes better than my best time for this route in Nov 2014 so at least progress is being made. I just need to plan a 20km route now.
