Huntsman, yes did the Lightwater 10k on Saturday. Didn't post about it as too busy making cake!
Anyway, I ran it with Miss Neilio, who is trying really hard with her running despite having pretty bad asthma and a fairly hard negative attitude- but she does recognise the benefits of running, completing 90%+ of the training set for her. Sometimes she struggles with a mile, other times she can crack off a 4 miler with no issue. Confidence issues? :)
Add to this, in some parts it was rather muddy.She decided pace and I dragged her round in 1H 8mins.
Let's just say it was a thorough test of our Father and Daughter relationship during that hour-right up to the finish line :), and we had a long chat in the car on the way home about what she wants from her running.
Suffice to say we are going out tonight for a couple of miles and I'll stick with her for as long as she wants to :)

Congrats, Shadow, well run! That was an excellent-looking cake a few pages ago.
Running rest day, particularly for my right quad which didn't like last week's hills and high mileage, or yesterday's undulating league race. I need younger legs. However, this morning, did get out for a lovely country walk in the sunshine with OH followed by lunch in a nice caff.

Veg soup for tea to use up veggies left over from the weekend.

What a struggle that was. Exactly 2.1 miles with the tightest hamstrings you could ever possibly imagine in your wildest dreams ever.
