Ran the Avon Valley Way this morning…

….Or at least a small part of it.  The Avon Valley way runs from Salisbury down to Christchurch.  Dawn and I have decided (or at least I have decided) that we will walk it this summer, not all in one go mind.  Now back to my run…

…Imagine if you will. It is 5:45 am, the sun is low in the sky and your shadow seems to stretch for ever.  You are running across a water meadow with the river to your right. There is a light mist rising from the river as it meanders down the valley. Then you turn left and go past the sewage works.

There was no smell this morning so that was good.

I ran for 5.7 miles.  I thought I would really struggle after Sunday’s long run but i didn’t. Got a little bit of hip pain at the moment but what do I expect.
