I don’t know what happened yesterday, but it looked from this side like a spam attack. I tried to login several times, but couldn’t break through. I did run gently yesterday, -1° thank you, non-timed, and hit a pretty good pace for much of the run. I had a lot of emailing and editing and writing to do for the parish, and ran out of steam late afternoon. That was frustrating, since I wanted to send back some marking.
This morning I took a timed run in a relatively balmy 0°, another good pace (though at first it felt unlikely — legs and lungs both warming up slowly), bringing my rolling average to 19:08. Don’t get excited — it’s hard for me to imagine my time will keep improving at this pace.If I do well, I’ll be slogging along in the mid-18s for a long time.
Coffee, fruit, Shower, Morning Prayer (and I’ve been forewarned that there’ll be a pastoral matter for my attention after MP), marking and work on Ash Wednesday sermon, and I mean technically it should be a day mostly off, the idea of which will taunt me from the sidelines till I just give up at the end of the day.
