A great hill training session with Susan plus dog in Wilverly enclosure round the usual track. Warm up run going clockwise round, and then going round again, but doing each hill twice as fast as possible, taking it in turns to do the hills, and resting at the bottom while the other person goes up. Good stretching session in the middle for about 10-12 minutes which really helped my shin splint like pain. So now realise that the pain was caused by lack of stretching which I will now do much more of. Also stretched while Susan was doing the hills. Went of down the beach for a fire with 20s in our running stuff with dog. Excellent evening, after going up to see Hugh for his birthday in Bristol.

Hill training session with the NF runners. Found it quite easy beacuse I was in the intermediate group, which was a large group with too many fitness levels. Light headed again for much of the course - I'm thinking this is beacuse I drink coffee before running, which I'm now going to stop doing. Also this coffee is keeping me up at night. Found that I had shin splint type pain where my calf muscles meet my bone on the front of my legs. I thought this wasn't due to lack of stretching, but now have changed my mind. Will do more stretching!
