After being caught out in the hail storm yesterday, I went out already in my Inov8 Mistlite over-trousers today as it was throwing it down outside and blowing a gale and I was intending to go up on the tops again.
Not long into my run though my back really started to ache (it’s been playing up for a while but Duncan stole my physio appointment the other day so I now have to wait until tomorrow to get it seen to) so I decided to stay low and we just went along to the top barn, did a loop round Dean Brook and then back along the side of Lower Rivington Reservoir.
I’m by no means a fair weather runner and am out no matter what – hail, sleet, snow, ice, you name it – but I really am getting sick of all this rain at the minute. Ruby isn’t impressed with it either and has to keep stopping to have a shake every five minutes. I wonder if you can buy a dog lightweight breathable running jacket? If not, Dragon’s Den anyone?
It’s been a good week running-wise and I’ve managed to get a good few miles in (although compared to most of my running friends 40 miles is nothing!). Next week won’t be as mile heavy though as I’m not going to be able to fit in a long run. I think I’m due a nice easy week anyway so I’ll be all fresh for the relays next Sunday. My first relay! Scary!
Total distance – 5.05 miles
Week’s total distance – 40.20 miles
