Sian, Lisa and apparently about half of Bitton headed off for a very long run this morning, meanwhile I headed north around the cycle path and Ring Road again. This week I managed another 24 miles, I might be getting marginally quicker, but at least I don't feel so stiff and exhausted towards the end of the run.

...and Preston were on the TV at lunchtime, I remember the grandly named North West Half Marathon started and finished next to the ground, I think I ran 68.09 - if only I could run that fast now. Those were the days before colour photos in the local papers, wristbands and Easijet flights to warm weather training, I do a lot more marathon training at the moment, but you can't stop time.
