What a great day in the hills.....

but what a long day, a great run in the Hill's by Talybont-on-Usk, ankle was quite sore but then under foot conditions were never going to make it a smooth run, shin was fine, felt good so did a very hilly 25.5 miles, legs were quite stiff the next day but i think the 5hrs it took to get home was a little to blame.....

Is it supposed to hurt that much.....

I've not run for a month now, that said in that month i have done 580 miles on the bike (so much for the rest!) and last week i had my lower legs manipulated and in the process the person doing the manipulation managed to catch a nerve in the back of my leg to say it hurt would be a understatement but i have to say they feel a lot less stiff, i have tried to resume my daily stretching and my legs in general feel quite good, I'm off to Brecon this weekend to give them a bit of a work out, the plan is for a 20+ mile run/walk on Saturday and a shorter run on Sunday but it will be a very much a 'see how we go weekend' with a nice change of scenery.

That will be the bike run in then.....

I've managed to fit in 230 miles this week with about 170 miles of that off road, including cycling to work every day and a 60 miler on Saturday, the bike is running smoothly and I've only managed to get one puncture!!! I've bought some clip on pedals and shoes but after seeing someone fall off at a set of traffic lights on Saturday and almost getting run over when he didn't unclip quickly enough I'm still to fit them....
