I ran a convoluted eleven mile route home from work this evening, one I did once before about a month ago. You can always expect to see lots of runners in and around Cannon Hill Park, and tonight was certainly no exception. British Military Fitness were also out in force - they had four big groups working hard in the heat. Fair play to them - I wouldn't fancy it!
This route goes through Cannon Hill twice, including a lap of the perimeter on the second visit, but with the main path closed, as previously reported on Saturday, amended to go down the other side of the lake.
It was hard work today, plagued with all of the twinges and pains which occasionally, and rarely all together, appear on a longer run. On my last LSR before the half marathon this was slightly worrying, as I was averaging 8 minute miles, rather slower than I would hope to run the 13.1 in thirteen days time - something like 7:15. Even now, more than three hours after the run, I am sitting less than comfortably.
I'm going to take tomorrow off, I think, or perhaps go for a short bike ride or a walk.
