Running (00:48: 16 / 6.00 Miles / 00:08:02 per mile / HRZ 2)
Tempo Run
A Christmas Eve Tempo run. Normally this is done at lunchtime with my mate Brendan but given that it was Christmas Eve I waited until I got home and then wen out.
It was absolutely horrible!
I am definitely getting tough when it comes to running in all conditions, I am pretty much prepared to go out in any weather and give it a go, although as I came out the end of my street and almost got blown over, I did think about the wisdom of my choice but I just bent over in to the wind and got on with it.
The conditions were definitely not conducive to tempo running, although the main objective is to put out a tempo effort. The pace was down from last week but to be honest I don't care as I worked hard and was pleased with that average pace.
Two days off over Christmas and then back at it again.

Running (01:00:00 / 7.13 miles / 00:08:25 per mile / HRZ 2)
Yet ANOTHER bloody windy and wet day.
Just a normal paced Zone 2 run in the blistering heat and sunshine of a Norn Iron winter!!
Very steady paced effort and I felt great apart from the wind blowing the rain sideways in to my eyes!
Maybe out on the bike tomorrow so long as the Hurricane dies down.
