Thanks for your positive thoughts yesterday – they helped!
After work tonight I managed to get out for a run, and it did blow the cobwebs away, so I’m feeling much better. It was a good run too – I picked up Alyssa and asked her if she wanted to do my 6km loop. She was a bit reticent, as she had done the beep test at school this afternoon and was a bit tired. So we did a slightly smaller loop, 4.8km, but this was still the longest run we’ve done together, and we did it non-stop, at an average pace of 5:27 min/km, so she did really well. Afterwards, I picked up my iPod and headed out and did the same loop again. My goal was to pick up the pace, and try and get the average for the day down below 5 minute pace. I just missed this goal, getting the average pace down to 5:01 min/km, with the average pace for the second loop being 4:33 min/km. So, it was a good run, a great negative split by nearly 5 minutes, but this was the only negative thing about it 
Every cyclist who rides on the road is used to the aggressive and stupid actions of some car drivers, but this story today takes the cake. I hope they throw the book at this idiot.
