Weather: 40s, but otherwise sunny and pleasant

Comments:
The forecast for Reykjavik said it would be 36 and rainy with 20mph winds, but it was WRONG. I got out by 8 for 4x2-minute hills at 5k effort book ended by 2x30 seconds of flat efficiency running. I could not find a hill that would take two minutes to ascend, so I settled for a steep street in the shopping district that leveled off rather quickly, but gave me lots of time to accelerate at the top of the incline, still yielding eight minutes of hard running. To recover I jogged back down, with the unmistakable scents a Subway and a bakery in my nostrils, making me prematurely think of breakfast. As for the rest of the run, the effort was fine, if a little slower than usual. I'm headed for Stockholm tomorrow. Strength work is suffering on this trip, I know.
