A warm 5 miler this evening with a Powys Canicross friend and our three dogs. Stopped at the river on the way back to let the dogs have a swim and a cool down.

Timing at parkrun on Saturday with a 10k local race on Sunday:
https://www.strava.com/activities/2589167342 My ankle felt OK, so (apart from my wife finishing 20s in front of me) all good. That'll be the last short race for me for a while, I need to see if I can remember how to run long slow runs ... |

Guilsfield Show Trail Race this evening. Short and a bit brutal! Happy with the time though given the terrain.
Forgot to pick up my Inov8 shoes and ended up running in a 5 year old pair of knackered New Balance trail shoes. Definitely noticed the difference ![]() The Relive video is here |

I had to drop my car off at the garage tonight, so I went in my running gear and kinda did my usual route backwards but also went via a cycle path that runs alongside a river, which I don't normally. And found a little outdoor gym! It's a bit lightweight for me, but I did 10 reps on each "machine" anyway.
The route was so much harder going backwards! Instead of a long gentle incline over half of the run, it was a series of very steep uphill sections. I had to stop and walk after each of them to catch my breath. |

Muddy evening run with a friend. Lots of impassable/overgrown footpaths so a number of detours and lots of backtracking needed on our 4 mile run. Forgot to turn the Garmin on so only got the last 1.4 miles of the run.

Cracking 8 miler over mixed terrain in the Welshpool area this morning. Canalside, steep hills, fields and woodland trails and quiet back lanes.
A bit wet to start with but it dried up after a couple of miles. Running with a fellow canicrosser from Welshpool. Mabel is now stacked out in her bed!
