Saturday Long Run

Motivating yourself to get outside for a long run isn't always that easy, it's made worse when you're going to run it alone and worse still when it's chucking it down with rain and the winds blowing!!
Still, if you can get outside for a run under those conditions then I guess you can motivate yourself to do most things...

That's how my Saturday long run started. The rain soon stopped though, and even soaked to the skin it's surprising how quick you dry off when you're running. My route for this run was out from home, over to Dodford, keep going toward Timberhonger and then right out to Wychbold. I might have known that Coley Pits Lane would be flooded!! Shin deep and about 50 yards long in two places, soaked to the skin again...

A good run in the end though, two hours on the road and covered about 14 miles, not particularly fast but that wasn't really the point. Experienced an unusual nagging pain in my right foot the cause of which became evident on my Sunday run..
