The Road To Richmond - 2018

[marathondan]

A poor week last week, shall we say - turns out that finding time to run is one thing, but finding energy is another. So by the time Sunday evening came around I had zero miles in the bank. But with things still to do, I had to cut my losses and head out for the long slow one, even if it meant a late night. Knocked out 10 workaday miles; nothing particularly special, but lovely to be out in the late evening. I didn't time it, but by the kitchen clock it seemed to be about 90 minutes, which is faster than I was expecting. Heel grumbled for the first half but settled down; right knee also put in an appearance. Both of these might be down to lack of running during the week. My new job is certainly good for recovery, as I spend most of the day on my feet. In the old days of commuting and desk-jockeying I would be creaking and hobbling. Got to bed about 12.30, with the alarm set for 6.15.

So, I ride again. Let's see if I can get in two or even three runs this week.
