For reasons I won't bore you with, my running attire today was quite a mishmash of colours. To paint a picture, this is a description of my outfit from the feet upwards:
Bright orange trail shoes
Black full length leggings with electric blue piping.
Salmon coloured long sleeved (with thumb loops!) top
Sky blue gilet
Flourescent pink gloves (imagine these with the salmon thumb loops over them - nice!)
Purple/dark pink buff
Truth be told, I looked ridiculous.
I went out early in the hope that I wouldn't see anyone I knew whilst wearing my colourful ensemble.
Duncan dropped me off at Watermans Cottage for an easy run as I wanted to stay off the hills because I still have this cold and am finding hills quite difficult at the minute.
I ran from Watermans Cottage to White Coppice and then back again along a different path. I then ran around Anglezarke Woodland Trail and out onto Knowsley Lane, which I ran along past the waterfall and then up the hill which takes you up to Yarrow Reservoir. From there I ran down into Rivington and then along Rivington Reservoir, towards the castle, then home past the side of the school.
I still wasn't feeling myself today and must admit I was really struggling towards the end of my run. Even the slightest incline was getting the better of me. My legs just seemed to have no go in them and felt really heavy.
As for my outfit, I had nearly made it home undetected when I passed half of Horwich Harriers running through Rivington. Just my luck!
Total distance - 6.6 miles
Week's total distance - (a pitiful) 17.6 miles
