and had to put my sunglasses on! lol!! yipee!
At last, short sleeved t-shirt and no coat, a sunny day to run, that’s not to say the wind was still a bit chilly but NO RAIN.
Now for the hard bit, 18 miles, my last long run before the big day in 3 weeks. Next week I have to start to taper, still that means a 5 mile, a 9 mile, a 3 mile and 15 again on Sunday, so much for the taper!!
I headed out along the beach, the sun had brought everyone and their dog out and I had to weave my way through the crowd. After 2 miles I headed back inland and through the woods. However, the stream had overflowed and there was no path, luckily there was a fence and I managed to climb along it.
The next 8 miles were fairly uneventful, I text my brother at the top of Mount Smith and by the time I had got back to start my second loop he was waiting for me on my bike. hehehe
It was great to have some company and I made him do most of the talking. lol! I don’t think I would have managed another 8 miles if John hadn’t been with me.
Mile 15 we stopped at the top of Highcliffe Beach and took a photo, you can see the Needles of the Isle of Wight in the background, a lovely view.
Home at last and a great family Easter meal at my Mum and Dads topped of the day plus an egg or 3 :) …well I had burnt off loads of calories.
