Running 1:07:00 [3] 13.5 km (4:58 / km) +110m 4:46 / km
ahr:130 max:143 shoes: Brooks Ghost
From the uni with Rosco who was very tolerant of the slow pace - my legs were dead!
Felt better after unplanned couple of mins rest 40mins into run - bloke in landrover stopped us as we ran towards him on quiet country road (Carse of Lecropt), thought he was going to ask for directions or warn of a problem on the road ahead or something.
Instead he asked us not to run on that road in the dark with headtorches as (I kid not) there were old people living in houses out there who get frightened if they see single lights moving about (we were on the road!) and phone him (think he was from the estate) or phone the police or whatever.
It is a public road. And he seemed to imply they make a habit of making these phone calls. And cars or bikes with lights are apparently okay. And yet I am sure he was serious. Including his disbelief that we thought he was being ridiculous. Amazing. I guess he will just have to visit all the remarkably scared people who live in the very few houses on that road and teach them how to close their curtains once it gets dark......
