Why I love to hate The Chemical Brothers

Intentionally skipping the weekend, over the last eight days on six I’ve run 2½ miles per day in an average time of nearly 24½ minutes. This is skewed slightly because the first of the six runs was accompanied by my dog, and I ended running for a total of 32 minutes. If I ignore that result then my average is just under 23 minutes which is much better.

Todays run was completed below my average time, and involved only one stop! When running my circuit clockwise there a flat of about 140 yds then a downhill of maybe 200 yds. I started running my circuit clockwise because when I originally ran it anti-clockwise I hated this hill at the end. It’s better getting it over with at the beginning, but it’s still awkward, especially trying to tackle it with any speed. Today though I treated it as a warm up – I went at an easy pace until I got to bottom, did some more stretching then tackled the rest of the run. I’m not sure if it was because of doing, or general improvement on my part but I didn’t feel the need for a break on the rest of run which is a great progress.

I drove the circuit last night, and it looks like my pedometer is slightly out, but not enough to be concerned about. I’ll correct it at some point.
