Running - off road (Machen) 1:01:39 [3] 7.82 km (7:53 / km) +435m 6:10 / km
slept:5.0 shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Blk/Gn1
Started later than planned as first the train home was cancelled, then the next was delayed 20 minutes, and had some phone calls to make.
Weather pretty grim so was some effort to get myself out at all. Ditched the third (waterproof) layer at the start of the main climb as warm - although was never pushing "hard".
Once up near the top visibility was pretty much zero - could see my feet and on full beam maybe 4m ahead. Did very well to actually find the trig. Quicker coming down but still taking it easy.
The drive home took half the night. Road shut at Bassaleg for roadworks. A48 shut after Castleton because of roadworks... (and let's not forget the M4 is shut eastbound for roadworks this evening). No idea what the official route from Machen (or Bassaleg) into Newport was supposed to be. With this level of project mis-management and lack of co-ordination anyone would think the Welsh Government were involved...
