    Tempo run tonight.Tried to do a 10 minute mile followed by a 9 minute mile followed by an 8 minute mile. So I did the first mile in exactly 10 mins,the second in 9.09 and the third in 7.39 followed by a half a mile home at a gentle pace.After a few more weeks I'm hoping to go a lot faster but for now I'm happy with the third mile because it was tough going.The watch was a great help.I did some stretching afterwards and went for a brisk walk.

I felt crap during most of the run.My legs are tired.I had to do the this weeks long run because i'm away for the weekend.Fairly pissed off with running at the moment so i'm glad for the break.The wind and rain tonight was mental.

    Played astroturf for an hour last night. I went for a fast 3 miles tonight.It's not on any plan but basically i go out the front door and run hard for 3 miles.I will try to beat the time every week.this is my weekly speed run.I felt a bit of a fool doing sprints on the side of the road so this is from now on.miles went 7.27, 7.33, 7.40.felt okay after it so i know that there is room for improvement next week.did a half mile home warm down.running three miles fast like that in a row can only bring me on.
