Nice week of running - culminating in a very nice 14km run on Sunday 8th March. First outside run of the year without spikes, and although I had to improvise a route to avoid a massive puddle, and ended up running up a down a series of steep hills, I felt really good. This was backed up by my fitness score for the run - 13.2, the highest since August last year.
A total of 39.3km for the week, vs a plan of 40. I stuck to the plan reasonably well, although I couldn't sustain 3km at race pace on Saturday - I managed a pace of 5:05 instead of 4:40. That was on slushy ice/snow, wearing spikes and included some hills, so I'm not too dispirited.
The only negative factor is my weight loss, which has continued to stall. I'm not really trying, and just hoping that all the running will fix it, and it doesn't seem to be working. And things will continue to get worse next week when I'll be travelling for 6 days.
I'll award myself 17 out of 20 for the week, losing 3 points for my weight loss going nowhere.
