A new part to my route...the possibilities

On a long walk yesterday with hubby we ventured past where I normally turn off on to the Macclesfield canal and ventured up to the Harecastke tunnel a major feat of engineering in the Industrial Revolution, surprisingly even though it’s fairly close to where I live I had not been there. My mind though went to the possibility of being able to extend my Friday run of 12k, so today setting off on a cool but dry early morning I ran up to the tunnel and then back on to my normal route. I have been looking at how to extend my runs to achieve my dream of 15k. I just wanted to push passed the 12k today and I achieved 12.5k and know that I can get to 13k next week now and the good news is I now have a plan to get to 15k - I love a plan! The other bit of news is I shall go on a short 1k walk later which takes me to 50 miles on LEJOG04, that’s a whole different plan altogether!

You are on it! Love this idea because it'll be a great way to get to 15k which you will. The route looks really lovely to. Well done on breaking the 12 barrier. Each long run now will be uncharted territory for you which will be ace. You'll feel like an explorer seeking new land for the first time. I'm excited for you 😂
