Crapped out on this morning's run. Was trying for a new 10km personal best but after 7 I couldn't keep the pace up & felt terrible, just walked/jogged the rest. Wish I'd pushed harder, was 4 secs/km ahead of pace, could have boosted my fitness a bit even if not making the goal. #running

Bit disappointed with the morning's run, was hoping to do a personal best but felt very sluggish & was 17 secs/km slower. Heart rate didn't get high, felt like I couldn't suck enough air in. #running

Had a long run this morning, enjoyable on a clear day but again very slow. Might just try doing Strides (short bursts of speed) instead of worrying about overall pace. #running

Another good hard run this morning over the 7km which is my usual short route. Post-injury best, second best overall and only 1 sec/km off my fastest. So tantalizingly close to where I was! #running

Managed to get in a long run but slow & grindingly effortful. Trying to sneak in a break before getting started. Have to hoover house & clean bathroom while keeping kid distracted, at least I got ironing & shoes done yesterday. #running

Urgh. Meant to run yesterday lunchtime but was too busy to take any lunchbreak. Ran this morning with a hangover, just about made it round the short route but felt really grotty. #running

PROTIP: don't try and tell me you didn't do it when I'm sharing my screen with the commit log entry where you did it.

Keep mistyping "dir" on the command line as "dur". Feels all too appropriate today.
