Off road running!

Just back from my run today. Managed the whole thing without touching a road, it was probably very good for my legs, but my feet found it a lot harder than running on the road!

I ran 4.65 miles in 51 minutes - starting at Westonbirt leisure centre, round the arboretum and back again.

I found a few photos of my running route today, just so you can see that its no real hardship to run in the gorgeous location that I live!

I remember my running in Chicago, so many cars, so may houses so much noise and hard concrete pavements (sorry that's side walks to you Jill!). Here I'm lucky if I see another person, though I have to say the runners have all started appearing in the last week - maybe its that time of year! Certainly makes me feel less alone and less crazy!

Hill work tomorrow! Now to find a 'gentle' hill! I'm not sure any of the hills round here are gentle! I've never done a session on hill work, though every one of my runs involves hills, so maybe

it won't be to hard!.....I'll let you know! Till tomorrow.....
