It's been a better week, out 4 times for between 3.6 & 10.2 miles. Overall the week had a total just over 22miles.
New trainers purchased on Saturday have put a new bounce in my legs. Normally I'm an Asics or nike runner but New Balance won the day. Very nice and fit like a glove. So much so that I've done 15 miles in them already. Normally I'd wear them about the house for a week before running but these are nice.
Today's run was epic. 10 runners showed up. It got to the point where we started to look for Niall. Surely he'd not miss out on this one.
Spiersy had organised a 19 mile route so the hard core were out. Anthony and I had other plans, stick with them to Sandridge and then head back. It didn't go that well. By the time we'd reached Ayres End Lane the elite were gone. No idea which way they'd gone so we headed through Heartwood to Sandridge.
We got to Sandridge High Street and were about to hit the trail when he heard Spiersy shouting at us to stop! Quite a surprise. The rest of the group came pounding on and passed as they headed towards Welwyn. We made our apologies and took Rob with us for a loop towards Wheathamstead. We got a bit lost and ended up back in Sandridge before heading back via Nomansland common.
Just over 10 miles, most of it in the mud so I'm a bit sore and tired. And my new trainers are not looking so new.
Next week I'll try and get a few more miles in the tank and fit a reps session on Thursday.
