Last 20 mile run

Today was my last longest run and went out with Ian.  It was a hot day and had to wear my shorts and vest top.  I ran in my clothes that I am wearing for the marathon.  I added a bit to my normal route to make up the 20 miles. So first of all we ran along Shorncliffe Road, then down Cheriton Road and did a loop around Radnor Park before starting the normal route.  We ran as far as bottom of Lympne hill and bit further along the canal before turning back.  It was lovely running in the sunshine but did get a bit hot and didn't have quite enough water. Luckily I had some money on me and Ian ran in the garage to get some.  When we got on the sea front we were running in the wind. Ian ran ahead at about 18.5 miles. I worked out my route well and 20 miles finished spot on at the bottom of Zig Zag path which I didn't have to run up.

I felt good today and I am in good stead to do 26 miles.  I had caught the sun today and now have a watch mark!
