Another 5k today

Having returned from an inordinately long journey from London (after travelling for seven hours) I stopped at the gym. Needless to say, while sat in the car for that time my legs seized up. In my old(er) age I realise that stretching is no longer just important - it's bloody essential. Without it, my legs can't take any kid of punishment.

I attempted to run a full 5k at a pace faster than I could run. I managed 4.5, but I simply didn't have anything left to give. However, I realised that (at least) my legs are stronger than I thought. I don't have the niggles that I once had, and I can perhaps step up my training. It has been a fair time since I've been able to say that.
