RE: March roars in like a lion
Well there’s a thing. I dumped the running club this evening because I fancied running on the mud rather than pounding the pavement. Whilst I might have lost an hours sleep ahead of the Twitten Run on Sunday (clocks went forward), I have gained day light in the evenings… which at last opens up evening runs over the Downs.
Also, for the first time in over a year, I fancied running with music. Trouble is my iPod has died so I grabbed Small’s iPod… wacked it on shuffle… and left… I list the playlist below. It was an interesting mix.
Next thing… really suffering from shin splints at the moment (well ‘shin splint’ to be honest – just on my left leg). It was agony from approx. the first mile to the third. Then it disappeared… well the pain subsided to a low throb. This is really irritating me as the pattern has been the same for the last few runs. I'm blaming tight calf muscles and embarked last night on a stretching regime.
So the run: It rained… and it was very blowy. My favourite conditions. Blackcap was in a very moody mood. A slow ascent given the shins, but I flew back over Mount Harry and into Lewes. 7 miles in the bank.
Sunday was a pre-twitten run (on my own (again)) and then the Twittens; a total of 7 miles... so not too shabby.
I need to get the shin sorted and then embark on a programme to extend the miles. After all, I have the Moyleman route to run... backwards apparently.
