We've had some lovely spring like weather over the last couple of days but judging by the forecast there will be a wintry backlash this weekend

First run in well over a week due to being away gallivanting in London and Bristol and had some nice strong winds and drizzle to run in. Legs felt ok, had a short sports massage yesterday, but my TFL was slightly grumpy, not surprising due to the "trigger point" work (i.e. torture) that was done on it. Was running at a nice pace with generally no calf problems but probably working a little too hard as didn't have my HRM strap on (it fell out of the tumble dryer last night when getting some kit, oops , then I forgot it so I'm not sure if it still works). Running up the hill at the very end seems to have made my right calf a little tight so will have to watch that.

So a nice 3.5 miles done. Will be drawing up a plan this weekend to build me up to an hours running again but at least one of my runs next week will be 4 rather than 3.5 miles. I can add on 0.5 miles each time right up to seven miles assuming my lack of patience doesn't take over.
