Spring has sprung

We’d planned a long social run today - the moral support is always welcome - but my fellow runners all bailed because of injury. Booo.

So I had a solo 18 miler planned which I wasn’t much looking forward to - the loneliness of the long distance runner is a real thing. I ran from Shrewsbury out to Nescliffe and over Cliffe and back. It ended up at 19 miles and it wasn’t hideous. Mostly I just feel really happy to have got it done.

Stretching, eating and then a long bath and the day seems to have gone. We are at the point when training takes an entire day out.

Games night with the neighbours tonight. I just hope I stay awake.
