I didn't run last week as I had a bad cold, and although I still didn't feel 100% well today I decided it would do me good to blow the cobwebs away and run this evening. It was the first Monday run I've done since the clocks went forward and the weather was sunny and warm, and watching the sun set over the Thames in Battersea Park as I ran reminded me of just how beautiful London can sometimes be.
The ground conditions were dry and firm so there were no problems there. Nonetheless I think my recent lack of practice showed and I felt quite tired by the end, and I noticed this feeling more going around than I normally would do. I know that this will pass with time however, and that my performance will improve as I get back into more regular practice sessions. I hope that conditions are like this more often, as I need to get used to running in warm, dry conditions for when I go with the Frontrunners to run the Porto Half Marathon in September.
