Easy Saturday

Since I was running in the area cross-country championships on Sunday, it was jsut an easy run around Chateau du Val for today.

I wanted to take it easy just to see how I was feeling, and not to wear myself out for the race the enxt day. As it was, I felt really good from the start and just coasted around in 4:40 per km pace. It felt very comfortable and I finished the loop in 33:24.

Just over a year ago, I would be going flat out to achieve this. It's amazing the improvement I've made with a bit of serious training. Lovely to be in the forest on a bright Winter day with the temperature a very moderate 8°C.
