Recovery Run

An early morning run around Maisons Laffitte this morning at a comfortable pace.

I managed to run without looking at the Garmin every kilometre to see what my split times were. Well, I resisted the temptation until the 6th kilometre and then noted a 4:36 which is fairly standard for my easy running pace at the moment. It was cooler than of late as it had rained during the night.

Everything felt fine except: legs which were tired after yesterday's efforts; left foot is too cramped in the new shoe and my toes curl under to protect themselves causing blisters and toenail problems; stiff neck from combination of heat and air-conditioning. So almost perfect.

14.3k in 1:06 so an average of 4:40 per km due to my easy start to the run.
