Long Run

Sunday 11th August 2013.
After yesterdays epic ride I my legs were feeling it this morning, but worse than that .... if you read my blog about the ride yesterday, you will know about the savage bee attack.
My legs felt weary, but I put my shoes on and headed down to the nearby village before heading up on a narrow country lane.  It went up and up relentlessly. But from the vantage point I had great views to distract me from the pain and effort.
                                
                                    
Then I had a long long descent to Pendine Sands that I walked down to save my knees.

Once down I stopped to watch young families playing on the vast beach.
                          

I carried on back to the caravan park along the coast road and was really feeling knackered and struggled to keep going.

Once back in the village I ran hard up the final climb to the park.   13 miles in 3 hours.
My leg felt like it was on fire!



 

All in all a good weekends training.  I am still a painfully slow runner and I guess I always will be as I am too lazy to run more.
