This was the route from last Tuesday. Another route that had it all; bit of road, mix of trail, slogging hill up, fast hill down and a rapid finish (sub 6 min for the last mile!). Probably the last off-road route of the summer though :( Back to dodging the traffic of Cheltenham!

Bushcombe x 2
Two good runs over the weekend. A regular slog up Bushcombe Hill on Friday as part of a local 8 miler followed up with a cross country version totally just over 9 miles yesterday. Twice up Bushcombe Hill in two days - madness.
Now the slight soreness in my right calf of a couple of weeks ago is starting to give me cause for concern. It's not getting any worse, despite some hard running, but it's not getting better - because of some hard running. So, as most adult, sensible adults do - I'll just ignore it and carry on. I'm icing it every night and stretching etc, but it needs a rest (rest? humph).
I'll hopefully get a fair amount of rest next week when I (and my sore calf) go to the US for a few days. I won't have chance for much serious running, so an opportunity to take it easy.
Right, back to the hilly stuff and here's the route from yesterday...

Long, wet run
I rounded off my week with a 16.2 mile run home from work yesterday. The first two miles were in the dry, the following 14 in the rain! Will it ever stop? I managed a fairly consistent 7.30min/mile pace all the way and felt reasonably comfortable throughout. Knackered today though!
Will be having a rest over the weekend and probably run again on Monday & Tuesday.

Been a while!
Quite a break from my last entry, but no break from running.
Last night with the Harriers we covered just about everything. A couple of miles across some very muddy & wet fields; up a stonking hill; fast road finish. In fact, the final 4 miles were around 6.30m/mile pace although I was struggling towards the end. Amongst all that we were molested by cows and chased by a horse. Never a dull moment I can tell ya!!
