7.3 miles - BVH - 1 hr 1 min
Run to / back from club + Reps

For Harvey at the club - my email address is mike@applauseit.co.uk

Benfited from a day off running yesterday and cold feeling a lot better. Have a slight side strain but seemed to run this off. In general though, and reconfirmed by John at the club, in building up the mileage tired legs are inevitable. I guess if I manage to keep to an approximate schedule I've just got to get used to the fatigue. Enjoyed the run this evening. Jog down to the club and reps again on the Bristol Road, sustained at about 6.45 p/m pace. Ran back to a deserved bag of pretzels and once they're opened, there's no stopping. Mandy reckoned there's no fat, so bring em on! Felt the pyschological benefit of running today as well - had a really poor day at work with every decision seeming to conspire against me but after a few play fights with the kids and a good work out, the world again seemed a much better place! So, that's the January training behind me and so far, so good.
