Weekly summary - 6 weeks to go

My legs were feeling a bit iffy following the half marathon last Sunday. They seemed OK on Monday and Tuesday but by Wednesday were feeling rather tight. I think if Mike hadn't attended the mile reps session on Thursday I might have just jogged it. As it was though, I had a really good session, and my legs were fine afterwards. I often err on the side of caution but in this case I should have had more faith in my ability to take the training.

I'll have to cut back a little next week to make sure I'm fresh for the Lanzarote trip. I'll keep the midweek run to under an hour (I've been doing 90 minutes recently) and take a rest day (!) on Thursday.
