Back to running and building up my fitness

So happy now I am back up and running after my injury.

This morning I tried out a new route, a nice 7.5K loop around Cranham. Really enjoyed it as it was such a nice, bright and sunny spring morning.

It was a bit of a struggle and found it quite tough in the last third and couldn't get a good pace going. My strength and fitness will come back in time thought and I am very much conscious of building my recovery gradually.

After my run I enjoyed my refuel with an excellent Saturday brunch.

Eggs Benedict on toasted muffins with a hash brown, mushrooms and spinach; delicious! 

Enjoy your weekend running!

Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon

Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon

I ran in the 2014 Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon on Sunday 2nd March.

It was my 6th Half Marathon and I managed to smash my PB by 7 minutes! 

To anyone looking for a great event to run this time next year I would definitely recommend taking part in this event. Great route, great scenery, great marshaling, great medal, great music from live bands and a pretty decent chance at a PB as there are plenty of downhills and also pacers are provided. 

I can also recommend Tunbridge Wells for some excellent pubs, cafes and restaurants which provided a very pleasant Saturday pre race which required a lot of will power to resist a drink or two!

I did very much enjoy my post race refuel though at Java cafe who have a great range of Egg Benedict specials. I opted for the Cumberland option which went down a treat!
