Conditions worth waiting for - Tuesday the 15th of March, 2011

Despite what sounds like a horror run the day before, I pulled up with little more than slight headache that night and tired legs the day after, so decided to head out on a much easier, 9.5km road run the next lunchtime.

In a complete turn-around (and almost to spite me it seemed), the conditions on Tuesday were near-perfect. Cool, dry, overcast with a slight breeze. If my legs weren't still tired from the previous day's slog, it would have been a great day to try to run fast times. In fact, had I just waited the extra day, or swapped my runs so the shorter road run was on Monday and the trail run on Tuesday, I think everything would have turned out just fine. Hindsight and all that...

Perfect running conditions

Unhappy about being featured on the blog apparently!

All in all, the run wasn't too bad at all. Certainly not times to set the world alight, but considering the previous days troubles, not too bad at all.

Happy trails all,
