Ahead of schedule already. Instead of my required 3 miler today, I managed a rather grey and drizzly 3.7 miles.
This marathon training lark is easier than some folks claim.
I was, however, slightly perturbed by a description I read today of the Cliveden cross-country on December 27th. I decided a while ago that it was time I entered a cross country race, and this one seemed, as they say, a good idea at the time. But according to a message on the RW forum, "There’s a long flight of steps built into the hillside, and you have to go up once near the beginning of the race and again near the end. In between times there is another, steeper, set of narrow steps hacked into a hillside and that really gives you jelly legs – even walking up. The rest is just normal with some undulations and a couple of steep downhill bits. Its tough, no doubt about it."
That’ll teach me.
