This morning I decided to tackle the opposite route to the one I did monday (by mistake), I figured it would be easier as all the hills would be downwards but would you know, they are just as bad. I must not have noticed. I have to wonder how these runners who can do the 10k in under 45 mins train, I know I'm doing every minute I can spare and I'm still 1.5 miles short at that time.
I think the highlight of the run was when I saw a fox, it must have been laying low in the hedge bottom but as I got closer it decided to bolt for safety. It ran a good 20 yards into a field and stood watching me as I went past. It had just caught a rabbit and was still holding it in it's mouth. I nodded to it and said, "enjoy it, you've earned it".. there are lots of rabbits along my route I often see them making a run for it when they hear me coming. I guess the puffing and panting must give me away quite a lot.
I finished in a good time (for me) about 44 minutes but when I measured it again it came up less distance than going the other way (what's all that about?).
Back to it Friday if I can get up :0)
