A steady day with headphones

5M am recovery run at ~7.30min/M with pack
12M pm general aerobic run at 6.00-6.30min/M with pack

Another late finish on a Tuesday meant I had to substitute a 'general aerobic' run for my planned trip to the track. I'll head to the park in the morning for Ron's hill session like last week.

My evening run was a cracker though. I'm still in my purple patch and had to hold back. I was helped into bouncy, springy mood by listening to my 'pre-race' playlist on my iPhone with my Christmas-gift earphones. All part of my psychological build-up for April 17th. High points included the prelude to La Traviata (great for imagining hitting an easy cruising rhythm in the early miles) and Idioteque by Radiohead (perfect for a good bit of striding out mid-race).

My morning run was a nice tootle in the short route to work, partly with Yasmin.

My knee is much the same as yesterday. No pain from about mile 6! And nothing that altered my stride before that, just some minor irritation.
