5.5 miles tempo

The club training session was a 5.5-mile run around Hyndland. I wasn't sure if I'd have to pull out as I had slipped and landed awkwardly on some steps at lunchtime but after the first steady mile it seemed OK. The wind on Crow Road made the going quite difficult although it got easier on the way back in, over Cleveden Road and along Temple Road. The fast pack started to split up halfway round but I stayed on the pace all the way round and finished somewhere inside 39 minutes.
