Felt surprisingly sprightly this week, given I was up for about 40 hours over the weekend and 'running' for about 20 of them. Managed a few walks and a couple of runs - an easy run on Wednesday where I did a bit of 'stocktaking' for work, and what turned to be a bit of a session today in my new INOV8 Trailfly Pro. All this makes me think I just had a fueling issue on the race, which is something I've never had problems with before.

Last night I took Toby to watch his first match at The City Ground, and my first match since I went to see Sheffield United play New Zealand in a friendly when I was about 15. Unfortunately we didn't get the result he was hoping for, but I guess it gives us an excuse to go again.

Always nice to see something you surveyed on the Explorer map.

Took the boys to have a look around the museum at Clipstone Headstocks - Huey is fascinated by what he calls the 'hamster wheels' that are dotted around the local towns and villages, so it was good for him to get a feel for what they were used for in the past.

Another Mighty Hike completed - this time on the Gower Peninsula. Thankfully the weather had cooled down a little, but it was still a gloriously sunny day on the coast. This time I front marked the first half of the full marathon, getting a pretty decent workout in the process.
