Why puppies are dangerous when running

Mostly because when you see them they’re so darned cute you want to stop and say “Aw” and it disrupts your aggressive, manly running routine.

I saw such a puppy today but soldiered on.

After the long layoff I found all of my leg muscles rather sore yesterday and today, their protest at being forced into action again. Despite this I completed my run under sunny skies, a 9ºC temperature and a rather brisk wind gusting up to 28km/hr coming from the northwest that kept threatening to turn my cap into a flying object.

My goal was simple: to improve on Monday’s run and get closer to my previous best. I achieved this goal by shaving four seconds off my average pace. My legs will scream their appreciation tomorrow morning, I am sure.

Total distance: 10.03 km (previous: 10.03 km)
Average time/km: 5:31/km (previous: 5:35/km)
Best time/km: 5:07/km (previous: 5:01/km)
