Good run - cold damp morning - wonderful array of different greens in the new foliage

Ran the Rimington Loop for the second time - only safe on a Saturday when the roads are quiet
Cool morning - met an acquaintance cycling up the hill and jogged along
really pleased with how my heart rate was so low even on the steep hills
really shows that a combination of long miles and occasional weeks off yields big benefits

I think that I should manage to bank 350 miles before midsummer now, 50 more than planned, giving an excellent base for the marathon training and also for the big hills of Scotland :)
