Double Hill Comeback

Despite rain falling a few km away, and forgetting my heart-rate monitor, I suprised even myself by still making the effort to run the 10.8km "Double-Hill" route all on my own. A toilet stop and some headphone difficulties pushed my time up a bit and I clocked 1:09:48 - that's 6:25 per km, which is more or less my usual pace.

This surprised me as I expected to be slower following my illness. I suppose that fitness built up over a long time also takes a long time to be lost?

I'm now confident of managing at least one long bike ride this weekend, hopefully 100km+.
