Run Yank Run 043: Go West

Hey folks, join me for another riverside weekend long run, one of two.

This time I decided to Go West Young Man, and venture out past Richmond to parts till now unrun and unexplored (well, at least by me).

Spring is definitely here and the leaves, flowers (and riverside flies) are going all out. Life is good, running is good, all is well. Well, except for my home internet connect saga, but I'll save that rant for the podcast...

Run Yank Run 042: Good Week

Hiya, I am writing this post by candlelight at a pub on the Chiswick High Street on a Sunday evening. My well-deserved pint is next to me and I am taking advantage of the free broadband (with purchase). Still no internet connection at the apartment (will take an additional 7-14 days!!!!) but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right?

It's been a good week for running. I logged 41 miles this week. My legs are feeling it now, but in a good way. Yesterday I went for a 15 mile run along the south bank of the Thames from Kew to Waterloo. Here's a map of the route:

It wasnt fast but I made to keep my average heartrate at 160. By the end my legs were pretty tired, proving I have a long way to go to get back to marathon fitness, but I didn't die and the next day (today) I went for a 6 mile recovery run during which I recorded this episode.

In short, life is good. The sun is shining, the trees and flowers are blooming, and Spring is finally here!
