Little canicross run tonight, never done that route before. Would be nice to do it in daylight and actually see it. Was quite funny, we've done part of the route in reverse with another group of runners and both my dogs tried to turn up the track we would have come out of when we did it in reverse, quite clever I thought

Auntie Stella I hope your leg gets better soon 
Cinners as long as you build up gradually you get used to it (so do your legs!) I think the experts say you shouldn't go more than 10% increase week on week. I don't have much teaching work at the moment and haven't had a rest day since 5th January so have been clocking up the miles. Legs are strangely feeling better than ever, no knee pain at all. 23 miles to add from Monday

Oh no emummy! Glad you got out, it's amazing how drained you feel after having been vomiting 
The plan is just to increase my long run but my friend has not been able to run at the weekends the last two weeks so I've joined her in the week in her long run so adding 2 miles to my long run every other week and added 4 onto one of my mid week runs the last two weeks too! Usually aim to run 4 times a week but not usually more than 4 miles at a time.
