Rage run
Was keen to do something for 17km today and since it couldn't really be running I turned to my bike. After an hour and a half trying to fix my bike chain, I made it 300m until I turned around as the gears were clunking. So out of sheer anger I put on my most comfortable trainers, shouted at my toe to behave and ran out of the house.
Felt wonderful, pushing the pace was so easy so I sped up without noticing. Decided to just hold this fast pace after a the first km and it turned into a bit of a slow tempo run. Along the railway line feeling like a train then back along the North Deeside Road. Overtook other runners like a rocket overtaking a pack of sloths, why don't they just go on the beautiful footpath of the railway line 200m away? Passed a horrible car/motorbike crash, slowed me down a bit, but then another burst for the last few km.
Probably not the best way to get into things, but since I wasn't actually injured/sick, and I was easying in the past few days (sort of), I think I got away with it. Very positive for Saturday - Callum, Tam, Daniel Matt -> the M18 title is on.
