Tuesday & Wednesday.

Did speedwork at Adcocks park on Tuesday consisting 12 laps with jogged bends and sprinted straights.Total time was 22:17.Felt pretty good although Right knee again sore particularly during warm up.
Tonight did 6@6 in 23:33 which was pleasing considering my physical tiredness.Right knee again problematic and swollen-found time to ice later.

Fountains road

49:29 tonight.Pretty slow was quite humid ahead of the storm.

Old Great North road run.

Didn't do too badly finishing in 3:27.I was hoping top finish in 3:20.A combination of sucumbing to the humidity and maybe not rested enough and not sure of the way only 2.5km from the end combined to lose me the time schedule I was ahead of until the last 6km.Actually chose the right fork but as I wasn't sure backtracked and then did some walking as all motivation had gone.
On reflection was pleased with the run overall,even if a little pensive about the upcoming 6' track race in 3 weeks time.

McGuigans run

Ran pretty easy in about 55 mins as was hilly/humid.Toes on Right foots toes were sore at finish and it was good to cool them of in the ocean.
