A pretty quick run before English! Wanted to be back reasonably soon, so made it short. But my legs wanted to go real fast! I even tried to slow them down in case I got tired, but they naturally picked it back up again.. Pretty cool.

Easy run out, legs weren't feeling amazing at first, but kept a surpringly good pace. Jogged up to JD's, and pace dropped a good bit here, but good company! Afterward I just continued on and doubled my distance on a route home. Pace was quicker here too. Also tried to stay more upright while running and stride out more, problems I have noticed with my running before, not that the upright one is hard to spot.. This was actually more comforting for the rest of the journey, and the legs were less tired by the end, even though I have to concentrate to do it. I thought it would feel unnatural, but no. Must keep it up. Also think my jogging pace seems to be getting a bit quicker recently, maybe I'm going a little harder, but doesn't feel like it too much. Good news!

Jogged down to collect Clodagh from school. Texting Laurence on the way about some Tesco deal. Good for map reading cos' it's much tougher, and more people. Then jogged back with Clodagh's bag and stuff, went down to like 6:30/k with her, but i think that's probably not bad for her, especially with the sun, but mainly cos' I was forcing her to play Doodle Jump as we ran.. she doesn't tend to read the map on the run at all, needed the training.
