Early swim before work.  Pool was cold again!!
For some reason my breathing pattern felt a bit odd today and I seemed to take on more water than usual.  That would explain the more frequent wee-ing at work today! Possibly?
On the whole this was a bit quicker than last week - so there must be some improvement - even if it doesn't feel like it.

Running
00:45:00 - 4.65 Miles (00:09:41) per mile / HR 147bpm Z2 81% Max)
I am delighted with this run tonight for a number of reasons. The pace was quicker and still well within HR zone and I didn't struggle for very long to get HR down once I started running.  I did some press ups before going out- hoping it would raise my HR a bit and make it less likely to spike as soon as I started running and it worked.  A good tip for me to remember.

Now a moan!

While running along a long straight stretch of pavement I saw 2 ladies walking towards me taking up the whole of the pavement. I dutifully moved over to the left side, assuming they would do the same.
No movement!
As I got closer to about 50 metres - No movement.
10 Metres - No movement!!!
0 Metres - I am on the road and the Big Arsed Cow is still taking up the whole pavement leaving me to hope a car doesn't clip me!

What a stupid Cow - she saw me and just ignored me.  I hate this sort of selfish inconsiderate behaviour.  How hard is it to move over and let someone pass - especially if they are coming towards you wearing reflective clothing too!  Rant Over!!
