Yesterday evening, unlike last Tuesday, I had no problem getting myself out for a run, and repeated my five-and-a-bit-mile hilly route last run three weeks ago. I risked bumping into my ex club mates as I knew their session would share some of my route, but I think they must have been late setting off again as I never saw them.
I took a little longer than previously on this particular route, but that was mainly down to taking it very easy on the way to and from the hills, and the main workout section compared fairly favourably. The only negative was running into a garden gate in the dark! It was painted black and left opened across the path. Fortunately I spotted it in time to slow down sufficiently not to hurt myself.
Tonight Joe and I did the usual (clockwise) four-and-a-bit, and took it very steady as Joe was recovering from a running fall, although looking at the stats in Good Run Guide I see that we actually started off faster than usual, which surprises me. Did we earn our beers? Who cares!
It's been a rather lightweight week since the race on Sunday, and I won't be running again until the Cross Country on Saturday, which will be a chance to meet and run against my Sparkhill pals. Next week I'm planning to interrupt my running with a bit of hill walking in the Peak District - I'll put it down as cross-training.
