I was really feeling Sundays half marathon today. My achilles is so tight it's making it difficult to use the stairs! Tonights run needs to be 10 miles. If you'd have asked me 12 months ago if I'd be running 10 miles on a Wednesday night, the answer would be no I wouldn't.
Our mate Lucy joined us tonight, so at least when Bozza disappeared into the distance I had someone to chat to and make the miles go quicker. Although it's been a bit milder during the day, the nights are cold and there's a bit of a bracing wind.
We've found a new route which is undulating but is nowhere near as brutal as some of the routes we do and although there is a long tedious drag along the main road, there are only a couple of uphill sections. This is exactly what we need as the weeks go on and the mileage increases.
My legs felt surprisingly ok for the first 7 miles and although I began to tire at this point, it wasn't so bad. Alex went on ahead but I was happy to hold back a bit, knowing that I've got a track session to get through tomorrow night.
So, nothing of any real significance to report on this run, not even worthy of a photo, just another one to tick off......
