Evening all.

Struggled quite a bit with my run this evening - I can't do my long run this weekend, so thought I'd do a long-ish run by running to and from club tonight (aim was to do 16 but I came up a mile short).

Everything felt really achy from the start of the run, but once I met up with the others at the club at least having someone to chat to distracted me from how crap I felt. I briefly stopped to chat with folks at the end, and accidentally stopped my watch, so had to restart it for the run home - average pace for the first 12 miles was around 9.20, average for last 3 was around 10.45. Hip flexors and glutes are really tight. Not quite sure why I feel worse after tonight's run than I did after 20 on Sunday.

Had a jacket potato for tea, as it was the option involving least effort. Fortunately we have tomorrow off work, and are heading to Ludlow for the weekend.

Good morrow.

jennyh - the best bit of running advice I've ever been given was "never judge one run by another". You have good days and bad days. Don't sweat it :-)

I have 2 marathons in Kent this weekend. Funky Monkey will be joining me :-)

Nice one Toks. That shift sounds tough, rest tomorrow and Sunday sounds a good idea. How do you find the Hokas?

Cheers RB, good advice. Good luck for your marathons!
