Solo cycle
Up the Avenue through Chandlers Ford, back to Ampfield, Hilliers, past the dump and Roke and back to Totton
Another 50km loop (but not actually 50km). Had originally planned on going out to Hursley and up to Merdon Castle and then over the back to Braishfield. An alright route out but a few busier sections. You don't get to the countryside as fast but Knightwood isn't too bad. At the top of Chandlers Ford, I was feeling a bit tired so stopped and debated a plan. Didn't fancy the big hill so headed to Ampfield and joined back up with the route. One section of really horrible road that could've done with a mountainbike (will avoid it next time). Had a stop after the hill past Roke for some water and food. Was just thinking I'd not seen anyone I knew (despite cycling past loads of peoples houses) when Andy Ryan (OSCC) drove past and said hello. Then a good decent from the Ower dual carriageway to Totton. Will use that one again for Forest routes.
Felt a bit ill in the afternoon and really sleepy. Felt fine on Monday though.

Loop of the Greenways
Just taking it relaxed and running whatever pace my body wanted to run at it. Quite warm. Legs still feeling like they could do much more. Not really sure why they've felt so tired this week. They felt a bit better doing yoga (other days I've not felt able to even do stretching).

In the sun, standing routine

Greenways out and back, aborted loop
Legs feeling pretty bad and no energy. Stopped at roughly half way and then just came home. A run to forget really.
