Never run on an empty stomach

Oh, that hurt! I have been moving furniture about all morning, pretty'ing the house for arrival of family for Christmas and other than porridge and a cup of coffee, I've not had anything to eat. Stupid.

So 6.81km/4.23 miles in 45:29 - Tersets extended loop with an extra hill and extra distance to knock it over my baseline. Part road and part cross country. 250ft ascent. Felt hard running uphill but with no food, its my own fault. Also feeling a slight twinge - middle, outside of right thigh. I did place a foot awkwardly as I was running back over the stubble fields so it may simply be that [fingers crossed and avoids any mention of ITB..]

Pace steady all the way round at 6:43/km and felt I could sustain that for 10k (6 miles) so I'll dub that my 10k pace for now.

Right, shower.
