yellow fields

today needed to get a longish run in and practise keeping a steady speed so I went out a bit earlier than usual and did 9 miles, and succeeded in keeping the speed right (though let myself go a bit quicker when nearing the end). It's not long till my next big challenge and I'll only make it if I can be slow and steady.
Only took the phone with me so not good quality but a bit of messing about gives pleasing shapes and colours.
Mr Rat is suffering a bit with a stiff/sore back which he fell on on Sat, just bruising over the lower ribs we think so should improve fairly quickly.
