Weekly summary - 13 weeks to go

My biggest mileage week ever! The Sunday run went OK in the end, after the niggles from the New Balance 1060s that I talked about in my previous post. This was also the toughest 20-miler I've done - I tackled the tough north face of Portsdown Hill up the fearsome Pigeonhouse Lane (I like to sound heroic!). I then had a 3-mile downhill run, only broken briefly by being interrogated by the police about the whereabouts of "A 6'2'' middle-aged man with dark hair in a confused state". At least the police officer kept pace with me in the police car. I kept my answer to a straight "no" and resisted the temptation to ask if hair in a confused state is one of those modern messy hair styles.
