Back on the trail

I felt fit enough to try a long run this morning as my cold seemed to be fading away. I chose to do the Blacka Moor half marathon loop, but taking it very slowly. The weather was lovely which made it all the more enjoyable.

All through the run I aimed to keep my heart rate down but after 15km I started day dreaming and lost pace quite substantially. Probably no bad thing, as I was occasionally aware of a tight left calf and rubbing toe. This is the longest run in terms of time and distance that I've done for around 3 months so there would be a risk of over-doing it. My right foot felt a bit stiff on setting off but didn't feel to deteriorate.
