Upping the pace

It’s been a busy weekend. After the race yesterday I decied to take it easy today and sat in front of the TV watching the athletics, got bored, cooked a pork and bean casserole for a late lunch, more athletics, more bored. Damn, changed, and out five miles along the riverside from Ovingham to Wylam over Hagg Bank Bridge and back along the Tynedale Park Riverside route to Ovingham.

It was wet and overcast, I wasn’t really on form but feel better for it. A few more of these and a bit longer over the next week or so then maybe the 10 miler may be do-able. Right now I’m still very uncertain. According to Garmin 5.1 miles 52:15 average 6mph
