Steady running

I managed a good 75 minutes today. It would have been less but I got lost about three woods away from home. I have only been in there once and then there was snow everywhere so it looked different totally. Still it was beauticul weather and empty forest so it was great. My legs ached a bit near the end but i stll did not feel the dep tiredness I used to when i was training hard. perhaps I am being a bit soft on myself in my old age!!

Gower Hills

At my sisters in the Gower near Swansea in Wales. Went for a run up the hills and lanes. It was wonderful and totally different from Latvia. I went down and back up again it was so good. part of the road was at least 1 in 4 and I had to walk it was so steep. But a real boost to morale as I recovered quickly at the top and ran really well and fast along a lane for about a kilometer. It was also great to ruun fast downhill without any feelings of stress around my knees or legs. I loved it.
