As i am on holiday for a week, but actually going nowhere, i thought that i had better put some miles in , obviously in preperation for Cath's visit and run this weekend.. I managed 8 miles yesterday and had to go to hockey training last night so the legs were a little stiff this morning. No worries i thought a gentle run round the villages will be just what they need. Robin (boyfriend) dropped me 10 miles from home, i like this method as i am always getting closer to the finish if you get my drift!! Anyhow although the 10 miles only took me 1 1/2 hours the route was a wee bit hillier than anticipated, in fact it felt like i was scaling Everest with a sack of potatos strapped to each foot!!!. No doubt the legs could really have done with a rest day, and judging by the new 'walk' i have inherited they will definitewly be having a rest tomorrow. Swim and sauna sounds like the perfect tonic!!

On the plus side, have just discovered that the canal in Banbury has a pretty good towpath, so at least our run this weekend should be for the most flat. Just got to run by the shops first without being accidentally diverted into the new H and M......
