[Sweder]

Three outings this week, a lightweight 'return-to-running' 3.5 miler, a standard Blackcap 5 and a delightfully bright and breezy 19 miler yesterday, taking in the sights around the Jog Shop 20 course. I gave the W a miss. I'm not sure at this stage in my disfunctional preparation that a series of vertical ascents halfway around the circuit would have helped much. I did manage to finish well, running in the last wind-assisted cliff top mile at sub eight minute pace. Apart from some (expected) slight stiffness all feels well today.

This week offers more sunny morning opportunities. I'll bag another long run on Sunday, maybe another 19, a Snake run with 5 or 6 flat seafront miles tagged on the end. Then it's a week of light jogs followed by 6 days with my feet up in Adalucia.

My temperance continues with one or two minor deviations to report. A beer with the Plodder before 150 minutes of pure Blues mastery in the company of Mr Joe Bonamassa and a brace of Firkin Foxes last night. I may falter once more this coming Sunday when Lewes Ladies receive the league trophy before their home match with Cambridge. Here's the current league table. Nice goal difference I'm sure you'll agree.
