Just one run this week, the regular Thursday-night group run with the Plymouth Musketeers. This week’s route was the Saltash route which I completed in the 9 minute/mile pace group. This is quite a level route, out across the Tamar Bridge then a steady climb up Fore Street, Saltash, before turning back towards Plymouth. There is a sting in the route though, because just before crossing back over the river, there is a wickedly step climb that is probably the wickedest, steepest climb in all the club routes. I was pleased to complete the run smoothly and made a better attempt at the climb than my previous attempt a few months ago.
Unfortunately, my hopes of running at the weekend were halted by a horrible cold which saw fit to lay me low and rule out any thoughts of getting outside to pound the streets.
