I'd got a bit of a cold and wasn't sure I'd manage running too far - but found it pretty easy and ran for 1hour 30 minutes again. It's great to think I can run that far without feeling worn out - just like a walk, but a bit faster! That's what I need to work on now, getting a bit faster. Provided my cold is ok I want to do a hilly run as usual this week, but also try a fartlek. I'll try that round the lakes, making myself run a faster speed for a while, then slower to recover and repeat. That should hopefully build up my ability to run faster for longer.
Robert suggested I should join him in the 'Swineshead 10' at the weekend. Was surprised to find it's a 10 mile not 10k as I presumed, but it won't be much farther than my recent long runs, so it should be a good test.
Last week running around Stanwick I was cross at the fast food containers being dumped - this week there was 2 matresses and other junk!!! Why do people ruin the countryside like this? We have a fantastic area open for everyone to enjoy and they use it as a tip...why? Lots of coots and swans around again this week, including a family with 3 cygnets. I have also seen red kites quite frequently in the past, a wonderful sight, I thought I saw one on Sunday, but it was flown by a human on Crow Hill.
