D2 of the last week (Start-2-run) One of those most fabulous runs... Last night was the first night we had frost over here, so it was a clear and crispy morning, promising a sunny autumn day. I walked to the canal, and than ran my 2 x 16 minutes. It was so beautiful. Lonely, only me, the trees, the water and the ducks. The sunbeams already reached the bank where I was running, but the water and the bank on the other side were still in the shades. Haze was rising from the water... The sun made the leaves turn golden, the forest trees on my bank were really glowing. (Our native trees are seldom red in fall, mostly yellow to orange. What you call 'Indian summer', was sometimes called 'Treezekes zomer' here in Belgium, meaning 'Theresa's summer'. Belgium is a rather catholic country, and half octobre there's the nameday of Saint Theresa) I think I will feel good for the rest of the day after such a run...

Well, I had a bit of a cold mid week so today (Sunday) I gave W5D3 a go as I missed out W5D2. It worked out fine as I was able to manage the full 20 mins non-stop! Tired but happy I also think I have reduced my massive weight by a couple of pounds, but it is early days yet and I don't want to read too much into that having read the thread about weight loss. However,remember that those of us with too much flab are having to carry this lot round on each and every training run. It is like a fit runner strapping a six-pack on their back! Good luck with the next week everybody
