22.6k :1.53.51 : Steady maintenance

After a brutal session at the dentist yesterday morning and then suffering most of the day with a swollen and sore mouth (the day was however brightened with one of my regualar telephone talks with the cheerful and happy AK), chiro in the afternoon and then a long SMC meeting in the evening so I thought I would be saved from a choice this morning - that is it would be raining so heavy nobody would be expected to run and I could give it a miss.

However at 5.15am there was no rain so out I went. Wanted to to 2 laps of the Bay with the canal etc with each being even and as close to 5k per k pace as possible without using GPS - just wanted it to be comfortable not forced. First lap 57.04 and only seconds behind pace second lap 56.47 - just perfect for the planned sessions intensity. So close to 5k p/m pace it doesn't matter. Saw AK and Truckie who appered to being doing some serious stuff as the Truck said they could not stop. Will catch them Friday for the usual cruise around the Bay.
