Back to piano practice.

Mondays, as you may recall, is piano practice night for son. I take the opportunity to drive him there, park the car and do three laps of the estate where he practices before he comes out. Just using any chance to clock the miles.

Monday’s run was the fastest for the three lap route yet – averaging 9 min miles on a circuit that has a gentle uphill section at the end. I ran in the road – the pavements were all too slushy – so ran without Mrs Nike so that I could hear the cars that were coming.

Will probably get back into the gym tomorrow for some interval running on the treadmill while son does his D of E bit.

We then have a rather run free period as daughter’s 18th birthday celebrations are stretching over Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I will be looking to blow the anti oxidants out of the system with a long run Sunday morning.
