Recovery run up Weets before breakfast. Felt wasted, bit low on carbs. Fantastic morning though. Might go for another trot later. Got a reasonably easy week coming up.

Fantastic weather

[Trog]

The heel is still as painful as ever, so

I dusted off the 9 year old training bike that hasn’t seen the roads for almost three years, and set off for an easy ten mile ride.

Half way around I spotted a gaggle of mountain bikes in the distance – bang went the easy ride as the competitive genes kicked in.

Just back from several days in Bucks. Managed to get some runs in since we were in the middle of the Chilterns. All very picturesque with rolling hills, woods and hedgerows. Felt like a cross country runner! Missed my moors and dry stone walls though.

Mind you, weather was better back oop north that down there.
