Yesterday I ran for three miles, today I tried to do three fast miles, with 400m recoveries and a warm-up and cool-down. Both were morning runs, yesterday’s in the dark, today’s as dawn broke, with Eos’s rosy fingers over Seaford Head. It was the most beautiful clear bright morning. I made a hash of the Garmin, so had to guess when stages ended and finished, but I think I accomplished the aim.

Tomorrow I run four miles, again in the morning. So far, these early morning runs are not too difficult. I hope this will remain the case.
