Espresso smoothie

Waking up to blue skies, I spent the first couple of hours working on my various article projects before taking William out for 5k of running and walking around the block. Once back home, I decided to test how well my legs had recovered from the recent ultra adventures by going flat out – covering the first kilometre in 3 minutes and 54 seconds.

With that, my earlier concerns about running fast in the Asics Novablast were dispelled, as they proved more than up to the task (more so than Rasmus, one might add). Completing the 5k in 21 minutes and 39 seconds, I returned home with that satisfying feeling of having truly exerted myself – and of fully deserving an espresso smoothie with banana, dates, and yoghurt.
