Week 5 - thats the big one done :)

[orangeguy]

A cool, or at least cooler 8k done this morning at 6.30 along the old railway line. That just leaves the "little 5k" for Friday morning I think. It doesn't seem that long ago that 5k needed major effort, now the next big huddle will be the 9k at some point next week.

Well done, not far to go now. Yes, 5k becomes a short run once you have reached 8/9/10k

There are many reasons I love this forum - but 2 from this post are:

# Seeing what others achieve is inspiring

# I live round the corner from Brampton Valley Way and had never even considered it as a running route !!

Well done BTW

Thanks Paul . . . Brampton Valley Way is my favourite route, highly recommended, nice and quiet (well early in the morning anyway) and some old trains to look at to add a bit of interest

This may sound stupid but I take it you did 4k out and then turned back? Did you start at the Windhover or a bit further down by Sedgebrook Hall? I'm just trying to judge the distance on the map and in my head I would have thought the route looked longer than 4k

I started from further up at Merry Tom Lane this morning, 4k up and then 4k back. I do normally start from the Windhover but fancied a bit of a change this morning

Thanks - must admit - I can't get my head around morning runs - very impressed by anyone who is motivated to run at that time in the morning. All the best
