Well, after the nice comments from Janis and Duda I decided to take Saturday as a rest day in-line with the program and Easter Sunday's run was much better because of that rest. 

I decided on doing 13 km or so which was completed in +/- 70 minutes which wasn't bad considering the calves were still only about 80% and that it was snowing and blowing a gale when I set off! The weather got slightly better about 5 km in though and te countryside around Stole Mandeville and Bishopstone was really quite picturesque after all that overnight snow. 

We have loads of Red Kites in this area following a very successful re-intro program some years ago and they are always nice to see gliding around, but whatever iot was I saw in a field outside Bishopstone I am convinced wasn't a Red Kite, and was very big! Something had obviously been caught for breakfast, I regretted not having the binoculars with me, not that I normally have them or am a Brid-watcher of any kind, those sights though are just one of the reasons tha jogging in the local countryside is so nice.

I haven't decided yet what i'm going to do today but am thinking of a 10 to 12 km flat route as i'll do hills when on the way home from work during the week.  Whatever it is, it's a bonus that it's not snowing or blowing a gale, when I went out for a newspaper earlier on it was actually quite pleasant.

Well, enjoy the rest of the holiday.

Cheers
