Where do I re-start? by philk

...that's my new trainers, for now. Managed to get a great deal on UKHotDeals, a pair of Asics Patriot 4's for less than £20 delivered! Like all new trainers they feel a little tight but they have only been worn once and I know they will be fine in a few miles time.

Test run - really couldn't decide between a 6 miler or tempo session. Stepped outside and decided I wanted to get back indoors as quickly as possible so a tempo run won. And a tempo run it turned out to be!

2½ miles - did the loop from my house via Hilsea Lido and the Mountbatten Centre. A few weeks ago I moaned that I want to do it in 25 minutes, usually I take around 27 - 29 (depending on my mood). Maybe it was my shiny springy bouncy and clean trainers but I seemed to be going quite well. I had to walk for a minute to sort out the Ipod (wouldn't normally bother with a little run but I was not sure what I was doing so took it anyway, plus I wanted to listen to the end of the Richard Pryor gig I was listening to on Tuesday). Finished off in 25:57. I think that is probably my fastest time for that route, ever. New shoes, cold weather, getting faster? Who knows? I know I am getting fitter so maybe 110 miles in January is paying off.

Never ever give up
