Well, today's outing didn't require a lot of thought. After yesterday's 13 miler including 3.2 of uphill running it would have to be as flat as possible, as much offroad as possible and be achieved with as little effort as possible. Easy, recovery runs like today always serve to highlight which parts of the old legs have suffered most from the long runs or hard sessions.
The severity of the 13 miler meant that all parts suffered! Calves, quads, hamstring etc. etc. Unfortunately I only have 2 ice packs. Anyway, whilst the pace today was deliberately slow I'd still managed 6 to start the week off.
Had to cross another pencilled in race off the list today. Had down the Trafford 10k for one of my March races. Altrincham A.C. in their wisdom have decided to run it in February. Now clashes with the Great North West Half marathon. Have to decide though whether I can run the Blackpool race followed by another half marathon (Haweswater) a fortnight later or make the 9.30 start at the Trafford. Difficult.
Antony Bradford correctly spotted my paparazzi photos of the Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey in her "civvies" and definitely without the help of Google or YouTube! Well done, Antony.
