16 September - Back to the Plod

I really DON'T want to do this today, but I have to. It's a great day, warm, breezy, sunny. I'm afraid that good news bypasses me a bit this morning, as I know I've got to do a long run - not a nice, gentle, hill run, with great views and exciting bog and rock, but a long long plod along the Whitegate Way.

Actually, it's not that bad in the end - I manage 18 miles as a reasonable 7:52 pace, and don't finish it feeling too tired, although I do of course beat myself up about not finding it easier or doing it faster. I even tell myself it's quite pleasant to switch off and just run, with no navigation, no distracting views or wildlife, no photographs to take. Well, perhaps it is in a way, but writing this as my fifth blog entry of the day, it's hard to find anything exciting to say!
