enitharmonJust thirty minutes today. It didn't feel as effortless as Thursday's run. Maybe I wasn't as distracted. Anyway, it felt more like hard work.
I ran across the bridge and across Walney. There's quite a hill at about ten minutes as I climb up from Walney Promenade, and I do incline to speed up when faced with a hill. Maybe this is sheer perverseness of course, or maybe it just helps to get the hill out of the way. It's what saps the energy anyway. The advantage of this route is that, having got to the top and worked my way throughthe streets, there's the long, delicious downhill stretch from the George to the seaward shore at Sandy Gap, and then the path along the beach to Biggar Bank. After that there's another short hill but that's not too bad, and the descent to the marshes. The 30-minute finish is uphill whichever way you play it from there.
It was raining, but there was no wind at all, and it was that soft rain that's actually a pleasure to run in (less so to walk in)
