7.4 miles
To work: 3.5 miles @ 8.03 pace
Back: 3.9 miles @ 8.14 pace

Didn't feel particularly like running today, but as usual once you get going it feels much better. Maybe it was James waking me up for Teletubbies at 6am that was putting me off! Another grey dreary January day and a few more miles have been chalked off. Thick socks seem to be the answer to the blisters, touch wood. No more problems to report there. After a good tennis session on Monday night and the race on Sunday (I think this took more out of me than I expected), I do feel the leg muscles are a little tired, so it's a rest day tomorrow. The schedule says 'Run' but I think I'll be listening to my body, going out again at Bournville on Thursday. Incidently, had the official time for the Sunday race - I clocked exactly the same 'official' time as last year - 54.27. I wonder what the chances of that were? I guess I could run the course another hundered times and not replicate a time. Have to remember this if there's a Handicap race later in the year!
