Shinagawa reccie

Run type: Easy

Average pace: 5:06/km
Heart rate: --
Weather: Mild & a little humid (20 degrees)
Sleep: eight hours

Finally had some sleep last night. Got out for the run at 8:20. With our planned circumnavigation of the Yamanote line tomorrow, I decided to check the section between Meguro and Shinagawa. The route turned out to be not difficult, though I did have to sort out one tricky little jink. It was a pretty easy run in both pace and distance. On the way back I did a few hill reps up a moderately inclined hill of 370 m. When I got home I ran two Kohta loops (just over 2 km total) at an estimated marathon pace. The first turned out to be 4:10/km and the second 4:14/km, so not far off the mark. The importance of this is that it is now important to start practicing pace judgement at differing levels of fatigue. Only five weeks to go to the marathon.

Oh yeah, the big blog news is that I changed my template to try to better match the new banner. I like the layout, but I am open to suggestions on the colours. The colours of the banner are so...so...variegated! Which is good, but I can't work out what template colours would match :/
