Well - remember the middle of May? I was pretty hacked off - couldn't run at all for 6 weeks cos of knee problems / miniSS couldn't ride her bike / MrSS was working away from home on our anniversary / I'd had a video gait assessment which showed how I should have taken up dressage as a sport (as the horse - not the rider) etc etc.
Wednseday this week - I did a really nice slow 16.5 miles around a reservoir - over heather moorland / grass / gravel / forestry tracks - in the midday sun - with distant views of Snowdonia with puffs of cloud over each mountain peak against a deep blue sky - with miniSS riding her bike alongside a walking MrSS for 5 miles of the route and meeting me regularly for refuelling stops .... FAB.
Thanks for keeping me going, everyone - that run will stay with me forever.

Well done to you and the support crew, what a difference it makes knowing that the others are backing you, doesn't it?
Dreaming of the day I can do 16.5 again, but I'm getting there. Are you building for a specific race?
And yes it was a 1 in a Million day Laura -just fantastic.
PS and thanks for the piccie file - do you like it?
I am really sad that I will not be there for it. I think it must be one of the most scenic races in Britain. Do they just offer the marathon distance at it?
Speak soon

Marathon only, but they may add a 10k in future. How about the Half in March? (Usually 16th/17th/18th March)
