Doing the maths in your head when you're on the go is always a good way of distracting you if you're feeling weary, I find!
As it happened, I found this run quite enjoyable. The trudge up Whelpside was okay, not too steep or too long to make it tiring, and I was pleased that I pretty much took it in my stride. Similarly with the notorious climb up School Brow.
I did feel slightly tired on the last quarter of a mile, but I always do - I think it's just cos I know I'm nearly finished. Anyway, overall, very pleased with this after having lost a week. Definitely back on track now.
The postman had been while I was running, and he has delivered the bumpf for the Great Langdale Christmas Pudding 10k, in about a months time. Very pleased with my race number - this is my lucky number. A friend once suggested that I should name my house "222", but as it is actually number 26, I thought this might confuse people!
Glad to see that this was just running and no hurling!
