A Nice Solo 7 Miler in 56 minutes
This Tea time before meeting Mrs Mick to take her to college, i went for a run, i had only intended just reversing my normal route and doing a 4 miler, but i just kept turning and turning and before i knew it i was on the outer ring road route of town
There was lots of stopping and starting, crossing pavements and juggling with junctions and traffic
But, i just felt good, and relaxed and so FREE, the evening sky was apparent, looking out over the south Cotswolds, the patchy clouds looked so very peaceful, it was very gently chilly
so, i just kept going, NO real pace, NO pushing it, just nice and quiet, i was soon back into town on the South East side leaving me just 2 miles to go home, so i just plodded it nice and steady along the outer ring road avoiding the main route through town itself , I had to laugh, as at times i was moving much faster than the traffic was , then it was my last right turn for home , i knew on this road that i may possibly pass my wife on her electric scooter, but i did'nt
so i arrived home, sweating nicely, but it rapidly in seconds turned into a cold uncomfortable sweat
it was great as i checked my watch to see all 56 minutes of it
it was then shower, dress , go meet wife at college to collect her scooter and things whil'st she went to evening class, i had a nice meal in the college cafe !!!
now i'm back home and Phillip sitting
yes i DID say Sitting

A lovely 6 and a half mile tempo at 7.30/mile which felt easier.
Which can only be a good sign.

Tried a new pair of trainers tonight, have been wearing them for about a month to break them in a bit, took it steady calves are a bit sore now though.

What's this doing on page 6?!
12 miles, slow but happy plodding. Glad I'm comfortable with a half-marathonish distances that I can do them for "fun".

A wonderful run in the snow. 5 miles of fun. Fieldfares, redwings, lambs. Doesn't get better.
