The weather turned cooler early in the week, so a chance to have a couple of rest days from running. I did ride the bike & spend time in the gym so all was not lost.
Monday, usual short day after the weekend, doesn't matter what had happened.
Today, the weather had improved back to summer like conditions. An easy day planned but the head had forgotten to tell the legs it was moving day.
Legs just did not want to get going. No matter what I did, the turnover wasn't there. But no problems really as I finished at the river to only 5 minutes in the water which felt slightly cooler.
Guess 2 days off running don't always work for the better, so I hope Friday will flow a little better.
