Free at last!

Afternoon All!

As I was saying on JuicyJu's thread the other day, I've had a big job on at work which has meant a lot of extra hours, so I haven't had time for any runs other than a couple of races and loads of interval sessions - they're what I do when I've only got an hour or less to run in.

It was absolutely glorious then, this morning to have the chance to go out for a proper, long (20 miles again - I must be mad), not-especially-fast jog around my little corner of the capital. (Map here: mapmyrun.com/workout/104850... ).

I know that we benefit as runners from all different types of training but I think there's something special about going for a long jog without worrying about times, speeds or cadences and just concentrating on enjoying the city, enjoying the running and counting up the miles.

I hope everyone got to do the type of run they wanted this weekend and I hope you all enjoyed it.

Best wishes and lots of love to RFC,

AHSx

Wow AHS! Glad you enjoyed it. I cannot ever, EVER, imagine running 20 miles!

Usually after about 18.5, neither can I!

Thank you. It's so easy to forget that we run because we love it. One of the best runs I have had recently was my first longer run after my HM. I went out just because I could and I loved it. No where near your distance. 20 miles for fun that's fantastic. Well done.
