Feeling better this morning, I went out for a ten mile run and, aside from the first mile and a half and the last mile, I maintained a very steady pace close to 8 minutes per mile. Overall I averaged 7:58. It was a pleasant morning, and quite a pleasant run. I did notice a slight pain in my right achilles later on, and the shoe felt to be rubbing against it. No problem really, but something to keep an eye on.
I noticed running mid Monday morning on a route I normally run on weekends or evenings that you have to be alert to different traffic patterns. Cars were in and out of places which are normally closed when I pass. On the other hand there is less traffic overall, and drivers seem to be in less of a hurry.
I'm going walking and camping in the Peak District from Wednesday afternoon to Friday lunchtime, so plan to get another run in tomorrow, and then that will be it until Stafford on Sunday. I'm volunteering at Cannon Hill parkrun again, but when I bumped into the Race Director this afternoon she told me I'm on timing again, rather than registration, as I'd thought, and the roster came out a short while ago confirming that. I think I prefer timing anyway, as it keeps me busy longer and more involved with the action.
