Just for general wonderings…
It was a late run. First proper day – kids all back. Felt a bit hectic at times.
Completely dark once I got out, plus the headtorch was slowly fading as the run went on. At one stage I nearly broke an ankle by running into a speed bump! There was a small post indicating a speed bump was there – although I didn’t put two and two together at the time.
Felt pretty tired on the run, which I’m putting down to first full day of teaching for a couple of weeks. 3.7 mile run. Done.
Today’s Bob Ross:
A lovely gentle 6 mile run this morning on the trails. The last run before the Chiltern Challenge 100km on Saturday.
A couple of things to do before then:
12 mile run at Rutland Water, including the peninsula. I was initially planning on doing a few more miles but forgot my headtorch and didn’t fancy running in the pitch black, especially with the threat of falling in the reservoir very real.
15 mile run round Rutland Water in the rain with these two.
I’ve done lots of running at Rutland Water, but this morning was the first time I’ve actually run completely around it. 15 miles. It was a pretty miserable morning: grey and drizzly. In my head I was expecting it to have been nearer 17 miles, so after running for an hour or so in the rain it was nice to reach the car and head home.
Next time I’ll include the peninsula.
Headed to Rutland Water after school to run a few miles. It felt good tonight.
I’m focusing on trying to slow it down a bit with thoughts of an ultra at some stage this year. 13 miles at a steady pace with the last 3 miles fast.
Feeling strong.
