Better time today - 88.2kg
Weighed in this morning at 88.2kg. So I have weight to take off again. Tonight I did the 4.2 mile run along Middlewood way again, in 34:24. This is a good improvement over yesterday by 2 minutes. Pleased with that.

Long time off - fat and unfit
Ran the Middlewood run in 36:30 tonight. Slower than ever but faster than I thought I'd do it.
Middlewood run - 85.5kg
Ran the Middlewood run in 33:58 tonight. A fair bit slower than at begining of year, but well within my target of 8:30 per mile for Sunday.
Comparison with last year
I just found the post about my Kerridge Ridge run which I completed the day after the half marathon last year. I did it in 48:10. so I'm about 3 mins faster than a year ago. However, I had just completed the half the day before and I possibly was not racing myself. It will be interesting to see how fast I can do the Kerridge run next Monday.
Sub 45 mins for Kerridge ridge run
I managed to get 44:58 tonight, which means I achieved the mini target I set myself ahead of this weekends half marathon. Tomorrow night I plan to run along the middlewood way to practice the 8:30 pace I'll need to get a PB on Sunday. Generally I don't feel that I'm improving as fast as I have done before, perhaps this is because I started off a bit better. Weight is not going down either. I weighed in at 86kg over weekend again. I'll see what my weight is tomorrow morning.
