trying to convince myself i am not a wuss for not going training!

good to get back to it again, my core needs work!

really windy again today so decided not to go to track but save it for thursday (when hopefully the wind will have stopped) and did intervals instead.
Really pleased with the session. Did 4 x 3 min hills (4 mins jog back down) up upperthorpe. Got to the cave on all 4 reps and v happy because 1. all reps were within 2 m of each other and 2. that point was way further than i've ever got before :) plus only just behind alex on the last one.
v hard work but really good session. 9w/u and 11 w/d
