Well after the bike and Saturday - it was long run day and watching the London Marathon didnt even seem to motivate me to get out - obviously very tired. Anyway once I got out I ran down to Flint and around, but then had to climb up Pepper Mill Lane - a two mile climb - which just seemed to batter my legs :0( by the time I got upto Northop Hall at 7 miles I knew I was suffering. Anyway I continued on, and on , and on - with plenty more climbing too. It really slowed my pace as the legs just wouldnt take me and any faster. By the time we got back (Julie was on her bike), I knew I needed to add a couple more miles on - which meant another 2 mile climb but got through it by knowing I would be down hill on the way back. Well that two miles up was painful - really really painful and the legs are still VERY stiff today. Got 20 hilly miles in though - just one more long one next week of 22 miles - bring it on!!!!!!
You can see the garmin trace here - Heart rate is well low - and avg speed didnt do badly considering the climbing and my legs
