Disaster

Feb 1 2009

Ran in Knole Park this morning ; cold as hell. Snowed a little throughout but the wind made it feel much colder.

Lesson: need more than 1 hr post breakfast before running (as I already knew but had forgotten) else feel sick especially when try to sprint. Did 2 sprints for a mile each but forgot to time so a lot of good that was.

Was a 1hr run ; pretty slow mostly - only about 6.5miles. Second sprint ended up with 6:30ish pace.

Am in Switzerland two days this week: unbelievably neither hotel seems to have a pool but has access to ones close by. Will take trunks ; will depend on what "close by" means if I use.

So - swim tmrw at gym ; gym exercise or spin on Tues (I think maybe spin) plus swim on Friday - maybe 1 or 2 swims on Wed and/or Thurs. Sat off as will be at Dirk's for his birthday. Try to run for an hour again on Sunday.
