To the day.
So it was an appropriate moment to do a track session consistently of 1000m repeats at the old university track surrounded by sandstone buildings and playing fields.
It was a cold evening but we soon warmed up. We had brought Goldie the Brittany spaniel along - she was tied up just off the track near the finishing post watching everyone with great interest and getting plenty of attention and pats.
It was to be a tough session with just sixty seconds 'rest' between repeats.
After an extensive warm-up, we started.
Went through the first 1000 in 3.29. Then a 3.32. At this point, Hamish's session was over due to a slight hamstring twinge. I was alternating in the lead with Theo. A 3.33 brought us up to half way. The fourth repeat clocked in at 3.36 and then a 3.38. I dashed out the sixth repeat in 3.18 with a fast last lap. Finished! Two kilometre warm-down, twenty minutes of stretching, then home to a warm house and dinner.
Won't be breakin' any four minute miles soon. At least I'm still getting around the track.
