Welcome to the Pleasuredome

Back from holiday and just over 3 weeks till Glasgow half marathon, my running pack arrived just in time to inspire me to train again. I ran 18K in 1:41:48 and it was very very hard going. I could have went a bit faster as I was lagging the last 3-4k in a dreamy haze. First 5K was 23:35 and 10K was around 52 minutes so a reasonably quick start on my first run back with a slow finishing 8K. I think the hills in the first 12K just sapped the energy from my legs. I started at 76.6kg and finished at 74.3kg so over 2 litres of fluid lost. I suspect I'll be stiff in the morning.
