Two more commutes

Two more short runs to and from the office today.

This morning’s was cold – frost on the cars and occasionally slippy underfoot – but by no means unpleasant running conditions. The real difficulty was that my legs felt empty. I could really feel that I’d put some miles in on Sunday.

Anyway, it’s a great feeling to be at my desk shortly after 8am, having already ticked off a few more k’s.

The route home was much better. Mild, but with very light rain. Really nice to run in. Less traffic, so easier to cross the main roads, and hey – I’ve only about a dozen to negotiate on my route home – and my legs were enjoying being awake.

I tweeted after this morning’s run that I was a long way off the 5min/km threshold that I like to keep under, but tonight’s run turned out to be 5:02/km. To be fair, it felt quite fast, when perhaps it shouldn’t, but that will come in time.

Here are my Nike+ stats for both runs. The route I ran this morning is here, and this evening’s is here.
