I was a little stiff from the long run at the weekend, I tried to take it easy but it was an action packed couple of days with Sid.
Worked from home on Monday so I was able to put some gear on, only 2 layers, brilliant, and go out for an hour across the Heath. The run was to work hard up the hills, it was a great day, still boggy under foot lots of slipping and sliding, puddles and mud, I just ran as fast as I could and as hard as I could.
Those short periods when you're running and everything seems to be working well, almost like you're flying, just the best feelings. I really hope that I can get the same feelings when doing much longer runs. The run was past the ponds, up to Kenwood House out through the top over kite hill.
About a year ago we were walking in the Heath and we stopped to watch this older lady runner, she would start at the bottom by the playground and run straight up the steep hill to where the seats are.
(This is a hill which Sid and I would run down as fast as our legs would carry us, sometimes I could actually get both of his legs off the ground a fabulous memory.)
This lady did this run at least 10 times before we walked on, her stamina was amazing, not fast but true grit.
At the end of my run I did that hill, it is hard, burning legs hard! So every time I do that same type of run I'm going to run up that hill 2 more times......
