Day 22 - A short traverse through the woods

Running through the woods...

After a strenuous jaunt up the hill last night, I only felt up to a short run today. With the rain lashing the windows this morning and a busy day at the office, I decided on a 4 miler through the woods this evening. With a lot of dark clouds around, I felt that I was in for a wet one! The first mile and a half was through Toft woods just down the road from home. A very popular place for dog walkers, however nobody was around this evening. I kept the pace at around the sensible 8 minute mile pace as the legs were feeling a bit heavy tonight.

On out through the top of the woods and a short run down Manor Lane which lead to Seven Sisters Lane. This lane is often used as a shortcut to avoid the centre of Knutsford and at 6:30 in the evening was very busy with rush hour traffic. A mile further on and I was back on to the main road and the rain had finally started, not too heavy and was quite refreshing. This month keeps feeling more like April all the time!! Another 4 miles done, the magic 200 mile mark nearly there and will hopefully be reached in the morning...
