Getting back to work doing some miles again

Gradually returning to normal. It's been a week of good days and bad days- high winds and other commitments, but still managed 140 miles. Saturday was good with 45 miles, most of them in the Purbecks. I can never work out how there is more uphill than downhill and yet you end up where you started.


So the same route as before to Swanage and then up through Langton Matravers and back down to Corfe Castle. Some hills are easier the second time; Langton Matravers is not one of them. Perhaps it will be easier the third time, possibly next Saturday. It turned out to be the day of the Swanage half marathon going the same route as I was doing - fortunately going the opposite way. Seeing the way some of the runners looked, I was glad to have wheels under me.

So the target for this week is about 170/180 miles, including a slightly longer run in the hills next weekend.

    Lovely scenery and a little more sunshine than 'up north'.

    They're impressive distances that you're covering each week. You're certainly doing more frequent rides than me.

    As for my marathon ride today, let's just say I'm too tired to put it in to words tonight!
