Well it wasn’t fast or too pretty but that’s another 7.2 in the bank..70.4k so far this month. Was gonna try for just over 80 which is 50 miles but now I’m aiming for 100k for the month. Just about doable I think.
I set my alarm for 7.00am because it was supposed to be 12 degrees then.... and then got up at 8...🙄 and ran at8.40 for an hour so it was 16 by then. Serves me right I know!!
I had to take a Nytol last night as I have had 4 lousy nights in a row and I was determined to sleep last night. And sleep I did !! But that also meant I just switched my alarm off and carried on sleeping. So I was still a bit drowsy when I set off despite a banana and half a cup of coffee. So I decided to just run at a comfortable pace and enjoy the scenery. And I ended up stopping and taking lots of pics on the way. So really enjoyable run and took in all the scenery in the way.
Loads of birds squawking, bathing and courting, no swans though this time. And lots of pretty wildflowers. And some ENORMOUS pine cones in the trees, along the side of the track, just before I turned for home.
Anyway as I said no PBS but I really enjoyed my run and the views were glorious. And nothing hurt when I got home so result!!!

Nice run and lovely pics! Well done for perservering while feeling drowsy. I tried to get up early knowing it would be hot today. When I got home at 8.30 it was 23 degrees :oP
That sounds perfect, hey, pine cones now is the time to collect a few from the ground for christmas decorations they are expensive in the shops come december
Great work, your tracking up quite a distance this month, good luck with your new 100km target. Beware though, it gets compulsive. I did my first 100k month in February and seem to now be using that as my benchmark monthly distance 🤣 happy running 🤗
Yeah I did it when I was convalescing after my fractured ankle. Entered on MedalMad to get a medal for walking 50k in the July. Ended up changing it to 75k,then planned on 75k for August and ended up doing 100k. I’m very competitive against myself 👍
