Rather than take a rest day after the weekend I decided to take the usual Tuesday run out with the guys from Hexham. The evening sunshine and a degree of boredom and no small addiction to this obsession got me up and runnin again.

It was the usual mixture of road and off road work, woodland tracks and fields, loads of up hill, just enough to stretch the strength and stamina. It feels good when it’s this good.

The run was around 6.3 miles in just over the hour. The last dash down into Hexham through the evening shopping traffic providing a bit of light relief.

Parting gestures to Chris and ? for their Saturday run….The London Marathon.. best of luck guys!
