December ('tis the season)

[Charliecat5]

Whoops - I seem to have put on weight over Christmas.  

Good job I ran three miles yesterday lunchtime - Sweder's circuit (as I call it) in reverse.  Which was an interesting experience as the reason I like this circuit (the normal way around) is that it involves a very gentle climb for a mile, followed by a very steep ascent (Sweder's hill) and then a slow descent all the way home.  This suits my running style.

Doing it in reverse, involves, quite obviously, a long steady climb before plunging back down to ground zero.  I am not keen on long slow ascents - but that's why I did it in reverse as I've gotta keep pushing the edges of that comfort zone.

It was a relatively slow run - paying the price of too many mince pies.
