Meon 20 Plod Sun 27/2, A nice 15 mile run and A horrible 5 mile run, in one

 

The walk to the start

 

Waiting for the race to start

 

The first serious climb, alot worse was to come

 

At the finish

It was one of the hardest races I have ever done. It started in glorious sunshine, this did not last. When it started to rain, the run got much harder, because we had to climb hills in muddy gullys and the mud was thick and very sticky. very happy to finish. At the finish, cold wet and very greatful for the free tea and cake, but no showers or changeing facilities, then on the walk back to the car it started to hail, could have done with out that  

Placement has started

I have started going swimming before placement, above is my new float, both a pull buoy and a kick board. My life is going to change, placement 5 days a week, how to people cope, with jobs? I am going to have to be really dedicated if I am to keep my training up. Only time will tell how I do

Sunday long run 18 mile pictures and video

It is much easier running with people and the bunch above are all fantastic, they make 18 miles enjoyable. It also helps that bristol is a great place to run. 18 miles in a city and the majority of it off road.
