Up at 6:30 on a Sunday to run eight miles. What’s going on?
This was an important run as it’s a few months since I’ve been this far. It was a good one too. Plenty of wildlife along the canal towpath: two deer, hundreds of rabbits, a heron, a line of cows to run through, couple of sheepdogs and more anglers than you could shake a stick at.
I’m toying with the idea of trying the run-walk method on the marathon. There are various versions to choose from, but I tried out the walk-one-minute-each-mile on this one. It seems a bit of a cheat but it might well explain why I got through the distance fairly easily.
