Mainland Again.

So, after  the long run, I had TWO days off. I was contemplating going out on the Tuesday but there were a couple of knots in the side of my thighs which I felt needed to work out first. The Wednesday we were due to fly off the rock for a weeks holiday , but the way things were feeling I I wanted to get out on a sensible run. I put in a 6.5, which was steady and sensible and finished a minute under the aim.

After heading to the mainland though I had a bit of work to do. Biiiiiig Chinese meal on the Thursday night and a McDonalds breakfast, Friday, meant that the “Vague” idea I had, to run on the mainland had turned into a necessity….. 

 I planned my route on my map/distance planner on my netbook and headed out on the Friday afternoon. It was supposed to be just over 7 miles on the back roads of West Cornwall. From St Erth, down Long Lane (Hmmm I wonder why it’s called that???) left at Relubbus, up Gurlyn Hill (which looked scary enough on my screen), Left and Left again and I would be home. 

 It was fine…. Except there was a lot more “hill” for my dollar and I decided one of my turnings wasn’t a turning and I ended up in St Erth Praze…. Not too bad, just gave me an extra 20 mins and 2 miles…..

Now I’m on the coast, on the edge of Exmoor, I am going to make the most of it……weather permitting (and for once I am going to be a fair weather runner…..I’m on holiday for crying out loud) I’ll be out twice on 2 different Exmoor routes……. Just got to work out how to take the camera with me!!!!!
