So on Wednesday I ran 10k with Happy Running Dog including The Tardis (it's bigger than it looks) and various trails in the woods.
I felt fine. Really I did...
On Friday I thought I'd do it again. Well, not The Tardis, a different route... And the knees rebelled. They simply wouldn't run... they just wouldn't. So I walked the 5 miles instead... Followed by a bike ride to Caerphilly to have photos with Flora - easy pedalling and just the 8 miles round trip, simples.
And lovely photos!
I wore my medal, and still had my RideLondon number attached to my helmet - hopefully one of the pictures will be in the Caerphilly Observer next week, giving more publicity to my Guide Dogs fundraising.
Flora was adorable, as ever. But she lacked focus. I remembered I had a fruit and nut bar in my pocket and suddenly she was VERY attentive.
Well, she is a labrador!
So, what's the next challenge? Classic Mud Runner in October, IceBreaker in February, Oblivion next summer with a team of 3 other girls who have never done mud running (I am trying to warn them what it's like, really I am) and a couple of triathlons somewhere along the way. But a proper challenge?
Anyone know how I practice bog-snorkelling?
