Early Morning Run Around Horwich

I parked up at the train station this morning as usual but then went for a run so that I didn’t have to go tonight as I knew I’d be pushed for time.  I ran around towards the Police Station and then along to the sorting office before running up the dodgy path out towards the Texaco garage on Chorley New Road.  I then ran along to Aldi and turned right along Winter Hey Lane, turning left at the end and over to The Crown.
From there, I ran back along Chorley New Road towards St Joseph’s School.  At this point, I realised that if I went back to the train station, I wouldn’t get my intended 5.5 miles in so I double back on myself, running along the backstreets parallel with Chorley New Road.  I came back out onto the main road and then turned back down the path by Texaco and ran back to my van.  I got to the van dead on 5.5 miles. 
Nothing exciting to report.  I was supposed to do the run between an 8.01 pace and an 8.46 pace and I managed an 8.23 pace so very pleased with that. 
Total distance – 5.5 miles
