A short run would energise - as inspired by a girl I see running outside my cul-de-sac most mornings when I'm at home. Not in my type of running gear, but she's our there doing it. In the evening, when I drove out, she was doing round 2!
I'm saying this as my only run last week, was on the Saturday, and I paid for it. In a good way, as we explored for the first time - Chobham Common, and getting lost meant extra mileage...
The sights however, were rewarding. That's what trail running is about - not watching time (too much) - being in touch with nature, and training muscles that one doesn't always use in road running or treadmill.
8.8 miles in 1:55 on my feet with frequent reference to my iPhone to get us back to the right track... I was exhausted and my right foot, imbalanced.

Thereafter, a week of some activity every day. Just over a month to Wimbledon half, need to start training. Kicked myself hard - intervals on the treadmill on Monday, cycling Tuesday, a brief lunchtime run on Wednesday (sunburnt on the back of my neck?) and now, another morning run to the station.
Feeling more energized, but its humid, and its not feeling easy at all. Will it get easier when it gets warmer in the next month? It just needs to be, with the extra mileage I'm putting in!
