Description from Strava:
I am back at my regular haunt this week. There was some heavy rain last night, so I was expecting it to be soggy and it was in places. There were only 70 this week, but the weather may put some off.
Yesterday I was at a company meeting in London. After the business part we had some drinks and pizza. They got a caricature artist in who drew everyone. How do I look?
This morning was bright and cool. I managed to pick up the wrong shoes. I wore my hiking shoes instead of my trail running ones. I think they are a little heavier and I am blaming that for my poor performance today (workman/tools whatever). I had my usual chat with some regulars before we set off. One guy did the Riga half a couple of weeks back.
It did feel like hard work today. I do not mind the mud too much, but my legs were just not moving well. A fair few people came past me, but I kept going. I am a little disappointed in my performance, but it is an incentive to keep training. I need to keep up regular runs each week.
I managed to jog most of the way home.
I am off into London again tonight to meet a friend to go to a gig and then I am in Portsmouth tomorrow to see our daughter do the Great South Run. I hope the weather is good for that.
Enjoy your weekend and run free!
