7 miles including 3 x 0.5 mile intervals. Eek. Was pretty good, and now I'm shattered!

Our super weekend of running
Luckily for me my levels of physical fitness and mental stamina allows me to just tick the events diary to my desire-
Though I do push Phillip around about 5 or 6 FM’s per year - I feel that that is enough, and they are normally day return jobs, and not overnight stays - which I do not enjoy
So I knew that this weekend Saturday evening featured the tough but classic and hilly Hornton 6 miler, and Sunday morning High Wycombe HM
I would not be racing the pace on either, but just running nicely and relaxed and fully enjoying what we do - taking in some fantastic surroundings
So came Saturday evening, and some rain - we actually set off 10 minutes early, so as to be able to get back home earlier - also that enabled us for a change to be able to see the race unfold - which we enjoy when it caught us at about 2 miles - it was just great watching the runners go by us - it made it a really good run - which we eventually clocked 65 minutes - I was well pleased
Then it was quick change, put everything away and return home, put stuff to dry on an airing rack, restock the food bag, off to bed and up again at 5:30 am for High Wycombe
Met a few friend whil’st there old and new, then we set off up the killer hill, and then settled and run nicely, at this point the ( 10k runners had split off ) so we continued just at a steady pace, thoroughly enjoying it all and clocking a very happy 2:10
Knowing that I can still do this made me well chuffed - all the way I was happy, relaxed, feeling really good - neither event was any problem to overcome
Next weeks double though is going to be harder
Saturday evening is Gloucester AC’s HM - followed by Sunday morning’s MK HM
Phillip is in respite this week, so I gonna rest and deal with it all when it comes
Might still be EASY- EASY -EASY

Early morning, sun was baking but a nice wind stopped it from being too hot and I managed to extend my run. All in all, very enjoyable
