Not at the JK, but felt I should be doing a long run as it was elite classic day today. Went out on the 'flat' half marathon route for the first time - even after the thunder and mini downpour last night all the paths are still very hard underfoot.

Took camelbak, due to the length/heat, was quite appreciative of having it at times. Felt comfortable most of the way though HR was higher than expected (probably the heat), last few k were tough but was expecting that; calves now quite sore as was forefoot striking all the way round and haven't done a run of that length for a while. No complaints from the ankle though :)

Refreshing shower and roast dinner afterwards were most welcome; an easy/non-impact day tomorrow I think!

Didn't fancy going out in the midst of a thunderstorm...

Ankle still feeling a bit sore, don't want to risk really messing it up

Short and pretty flat evening run along the top to Chenies, then down to and back along the Chess. Went over fairly badly on L. ankle on the path down through the wood, but could still run on it - is a little painful now but not swollen, hopefully won't get any worse. HR a little higher than I'd hoped but not too bad.

Not feeling too bad after yesterday which is a good sign I hope...
