Steady 12k out & back - 51.09

Ran from home down to Le Montage via L.H.S of Canal (hate running fastish thru the dog park lest a big hairy mutt jumps me ). There was a strong breeze tonight with the wind seeming to be head-on no matter which direction I ran. Didn't get out till about 8.15 due to speech night at school. Ran at a nice steady pace with a few surges at 10k race pace along the way - never going slower than 4.30 pace and every so often upping the pace to about 3.30. 30 secs faster on way back - well done !

Left leg felt much better tonight with no apparent discomfort. (Note:- wore my asics 1100s).

After talking to some much more experienced runners, I am going to change my schedule around starting next week so that Wednesday is a recovery day after Tuesday's hard efforts, Thursday a longer aerobic run & Friday a harder session again, recovery or rest Saturday and Long Sunday. Three hard days in a row midweek was starting to wear me down and by Sunday I was putting in a poorish effort.
