Speed demon

The title is misleading, in that, it gives the impression that I have probably succeeded at a VO2max workout. Far from it; its just that I wish it were true. I am still a long way off from getting back into form. However, I must admit that I did feel satisfied with my attempt at doing some marathon pace running. I had to ensure that I gave myself some recovery time in between and which eventually helped me in completing the work out.

I walked back (instead of jogging back) to where I'd parked my bike. This was so as to give myself an extended "cool down". This is essential since the sudden cool down that occurs when I ride my bike, after the run, is not good for the lingering chest cold that rears its head now and then. A hearty breakfast and some time with Bryan (who had a holiday) and Dojo is sufficient to bouy my spirits sky high. I am learning a lot about myself in this period of deep introspection and the knowledge is certainly helping me cope.
