20 miles to get going for 2011

20M - long run at ~6.20min/M

I had a couple of viral days off to start the year. Not great. But I think it was sensible not to push things. It was the anniversary of my stupid ankle sprain yesterday - which resulted in me missing the whole of January on crutches.

Anyway, this was a good way to start the new year. I felt pretty sprightly and only a little tired in the last 5 miles. I'll try and get some speed in tomorrow or Wednesday. I feel that's what I'll have lost out on most in my virus-disrupted Christmas.

It's nice not to be running on ice. But it's still pretty chilly. I misjudged it this morning and sorely regretted not having gloves. I could hardly get the key in the door at the end.
