In Berlin for a short work trip. The meeting didn't start till 10am so had time to do a decent run at a more reasonable time in the morning (rather than at 6am, which is usually the case). Did a bit of a tourist circuit taking in the Brandenburg Gate, Tiergarten, Reichstag. Felt very good but a little tired and heavy. Decided to do 5 x 3minH/1minE after a decent warm-up. Pace not too bad for the morning (4.15, 18, 18, 17, 16) but quite hard work.

Reason for feeling a bit tired was revealed later in the day when my throat started to close up, nose started to run, and chest became very heavy and congested. Flying back was a struggle with the start of a man-cold. Will have to take it easy for a few days now ...

Another early morning shuffle around Budapest, crossing a couple of the old bridges over the Danube. Glorious morning for it - cloudless and still, but -3 deg making it very very cold. Wish I had the time to go for longer ...
