Jogging around Wiltshire

This Sunday past was the Chippenham Half Marathon. Tasha had entered so I thought I'd also do it for moral support, and in the process put my name down for the Corporate team.

Having spent the summer mostly mooching (and occasionally riding around the countryside), I wasn't and am not in such great running shape - but I still felt good about trying for a 1:30.

The short if it is that I suffered over the last 3mi/5km and in so doing, missed my target by 6 mins. Otherwise it was great fun indeed, and I am now thoroughly motivated for the winter cross country season.

I'm still a bit sore today, but I've been using the bike to loosen my legs up again after Sunday, and might do a little speed work in prep for the MCAA 6-Stage Road Relays on Saturday up in Birmingham. That should be a fun event too - but I'm looking at all these events as training for the upcoming XC season. Good to be back!
