Today is hot and muggy and yuck. I have a serious case of CBA but will do my run today. 40 mins of 5:2 down the canal path at lunchtime.
When I get home it will be pack bags and stick them in the car as the gnome and I are off home to se me mam. Back Sunday night so he is in bed in time for school though so just a flying visit but we haven't seen them since Easter so it will be nice. Will also come home with a boot full of wine and beer from the wine shop! Sorted!
Later that day ...
Well lunchtime run done depite the baking heat. 3.5m of 5:2 with a few mins walking at the end total time 50mins. Which means I did 1 extra set ... doh!
Anyway it was hot and I felt really good for the first mile then slowed down as I had tired legs. The last set had me pondering why I was tired, was it the heat, the diet, coming back from the injury or what. Looking at my watch when I got back my splits per mile were: 11.47, 14.38, 15.56 and the last half mile was 8.32. So could this be a bad case of going out too fast!! I can't believe I did 11:47 when I was walking for 2mins! In one respect this is good as it shows I am improving but then it also shows I have no sense of pacing! I will have to remember to go slower on Sunday's run!
It seems that the south will be in a mini heat wave this weekend so I will have to get up early for my run or suffer!! Now do I take my bottle belt for a 500ml drink or stick to the 250ml runners aid.... I'll be brave! (Spans I hope you are proud of me!) and stick to the small runners aid bottle. Sunday will be 3:2 for 80 mins but will be road work as mum doesn't have a nice footpath nearby!
So signing out now until the end of the weekend - possibly Sunday night, probably Monday
Have a great one folks

I'd advise the 500ml bottle better carry the extra 1/2lb than go thirsty on a hot day.
(and get up really early before the heat arrives!!!!!)
