Todays Run

Distance: 3.51 miles
Time: 37 minutes

I decided I needed to run up a hill today to at least start to get some practise in for the Deerstalker on the 31st. I've tried running this same route before but ended up stopping just before I got the the car park at Stanley. Today I set off and decided to run quite slow, I tend to speed up on a hill to try to get it out of the way quick but end up knackered. I got to the top and stopped on the seat for a minute today. I probably didn't have to stop if I had wanted to push myself hard but don't wanna kill myself because I am off to the Lakes tomorrow.

It was windier than I realised, although luckily the wind was more or less behind me up the hill, pushing me along. When I was coming back down it was pushing me back and couldn't see where I was going over the rough ground (eyes were watering).

A mate came over not long after I finished this and he said he wanted to go for a run sometime with me. There was no way I was gonna go back out again today. He fancies doing this one with me, probably in 2 weeks time (he's always working).
