Day 29 – 100 in ten weeks
On Sunday I decided to do a long run. I planned a 27k hilly off road run. I left as the sun was coming up. It was cold and there was a light smattering of snow on the ground.
After a while it started to snow. Every now and then I had to stop and check my map but the footpaths were easy to find. Some of the paths were quite muddy and so I was only averaging 6min per km. Did I tell you it was quite hilly?
After two hours the snow became a blizzard for ten minutes or so. I also needed to be home on time so I decided to take a road way back rather than run through more mud. This was more boring but much quicker, especially as I increased the effort a little.
I got home in 2:27 having done 25.5km. Not fast but it was always supposed to be an easy fun run. Also, the mud meant I ran a little slower uphill but a lot slower than normal downhill.
I very much enjoyed the run. It felt good being outside.
