Yeah, decided not to do the Leith Hill half. Was pouring with rain when i woke up. Too scared about the whole slippey muddy hilly puddles uneven surface turning ankles to risk it!!
It was then of course, fairly lovely weather, but decision had been made and regardless of sun now, the ground would still be one huge mud bath.
I was determined to go for a run though.
1:23.55 non stop - felt fine. Tired but not at all.knackered - up culverhay, onto common, popped out at wells estate, down a24 to bramley way to woodfield. Past pond, st georges and barnet wood. Up to plough roundabout along barnet wood lane, cleeve lane, along to station, up and round to leatherhead past sainsburys carpark. Linden round st johns then popped out on leatherhead road and up to the beeches to see dad. Mabes 10/11k.
Visited with dad for 39.23.52 :)
Started to chuck it down when i left but only for a few mins. Sooo cold!! Ran to.mums via top of Ashtead 21.33.37 - cup.of tea and then debs and katie collected me.
Such a lovely few hours or so of running and visiting. So pleased to have not done leith hill as got to see both mum and dad and had a good run. Win / Win.
Then back to Southampton a few hours later. Another yummy turkey lasagne in the fridge for some meals next week.
Must get focused on the fifth tri discipline of nutrition!!!
