I decided to go out for a run at lunchtime, so did the previously tricky route; down the hill, up the short but incredibly steep walk up to Brown's Folly, then along back the relatively flat, undulating country roads.
Didn't enjoy it at all, I think the exertion of the steep hill at the start (after 10 mins slow jog down a parallel route) really wiped me out. Or, I could be getting a cough - both the kids have runny noses and coughs during the night. Was about 3.5 miles, and I did it in a good time, but walked more than I normally would.
So later on, I decided to go out along Batheaston on the way back from the shops. 2 miles along, mostly flat. Felt much better, much more in control, nicely done. Felt much better.

Run #10 Monday
Feeling much more capable now, don't mind going for a run, and quite look forward to it.
Monday night, was meant to be a quick one. Did quite a long route, 4 miles, in about 45 mins. Wasn't as cold and blustery as at the weekend.

Run #9.5?
Went to the pub on Sunday, decided to walk. By way of compensating or something.
1 hour, fast walk, for about 6 miles from home to town. Gave me achy legs the next morning, but that was probably booze.

Run #9, Saturday big one
So, I had three nights off, and the ankle is much better, very small ache / twinge, but good to go. I'd been walking a bit during the week (at work, in the office) so it's come good.
Went out for monster run, out to Wraxall, 5 ways, and back. About 6 miles, took about 1.5 hours, just less. No problems on foot, mostly problems with long slogs up slow inclines with a cold, fast wind against me. Trying to keep breathing regular, under stress, and wind is blowing into my face - nasty business. Good run though, happy.

Run #8, a fall.
So, I was out on Tuesday, not too late, but dark - as usual.
Was rather a good run, coming home, down the hill, full tilt. Car coming up, no biggie - he can see me. Then my right foot falls into a small hole as i'm concentrating on the car (and not getting run over).
Right ankle twists, fall over, graze left ankle. Hobble home - 100m - out with a bandage, ice, elevation, rest (strains & sprains - R.I.C.E, easy..). Calmed down later.
Went to France the next day, was a bit achy, but walkable.
