I missed the run on Friday eve. I decided to swap the days around. So I rested on Friday and decided to run on Saturday instead. Saturday run was very hard - wore the wrong clothes, my legs were heavy and I just couldn't get going at all!! My mind was on the planned longish run in the Moel Famau hills on Sunday. I still managed 5 miles in average pace thou :-)

The run on Sunday was fantastic. I felt really strong on the hills and recovered well on the flats. We ran for 1 hour and 47 minutes (around 11-12 miles). There was very little wind on the summits and it was quite warm too. Surprisingly I didn't need fluids or food whilst running. I think the giant pizza the night before probably helped me.

So far my legs arn't giving me to much trouble either!


Moel Famau route - This isn't very accurate as we drifted on to trails that didn't appear on Google maps.

I just bought these bad boys! Asics Gel Kayano 15. I'm testing them later and I can't wait. Running 6 miles tonight. Haven't been out running for a while. My old trainers were putting me off.

Walked about 10 miles yesterday up Tryfan in Snowdonia, Wales. Horrendous weather. 2 people got lost and found us, lucky us. We helped them out. Isn't it crazy how people folow people on mountains? - we could of lead them into real trouble. I smashed my head on a rock whils topping out of a chimney - bloody hurt!!

I had an interview for works staff news and possibly the local newspaper today. My running vest also arrived from the National Autistic Society - sexy purple! Oh and running belt also arrived from ebay, so no more excuses getting out for the longer runs!
