Now the Sun comes out!

Yesterday was our long run with the club. I woke up to a miserable looking day, no rain but it was threatening. We have joined the Wimbledon Winmilers who are a very friendly and welcoming club. Three groups leave at 10am, a 3 mile, 5 mile & 7 mile. For longer runs a group leaves at 9:30am. Sarah normally runs the earlier time so I decided to join them. Some very fit guys and ladies in this early group. We set off with most people doing between 11 - 15 miles.

I ended up running with an Irish student as we were both going at about the same pace. Had a good chat along the way about her Masters in Drawing she was doing. Felt good all the way round, the rain started coming down towards the end but at least it was fairly warm. Ended up doing about 11 miles.
Today is a rest day although on my cycle into work some guy on a very flash bike came tearing past me at a traffic light. I could not let this injustice take place so broke a few land speed records and got onto his tail and slip-streamed for a while which he did not seem to enjoy. So legs got a brief workout.

Happy with the weekly mileage I did - 32 miles. Just need to keep it up this week.
