Couldn't face a run by the time I could get out, so went for a fast walk/stomp instead. Think I probably went further than I would have done if I'd run so was a good choice.

Railway line up past Lanchester to Consett, then NCN 7 (coast to coast path) to Stanley, with a stop at Harperley Hall to inhale lunch and a bucket of tea. Then a stop just down the road for another cuppa with Sarah and Josie at tanfield lea (purpose of this ride was in part to deliver some books to them). Then a frantic pedal to rejoin NCN 7 and thankfully some nicely tarmacced downhill past Beamish. Missed turning I was planning to take and ended up nearer Birtley, so a bit of road through Chester-le-street. Then back roads home.
Have been wanting to do this longer ride for a while, but it was definitely an effort today. The 'fresh breeze' forecast was actually a pretty strong headwind after Lanchester, just as the uphill kicks in. I wasway too optimistic on timings (random map scale not helping), but glad to get a longer session in, as won't get a chance this weekend.
Just made it back in time for a quick shower and school pick up!

Painfully sluggish run after drop off - roads, flass vale, crook hall and woods. Experimenting with avoiding coffee before I run for various reasons, but it's going to take some getting used to. Wasn't disappointed to have to stop for traffic at some of the road crossings!

To dentist and back via various errands

To station and back for last trip into my current workplace!

Managed to get out between meetings. Aykley heads with 4 hill intervals at far end (50-55secs) just to break things up and see what foot and body thought.
Mainly everything felt very sluggish, I think running in the afternoon just doesn't work very well for me at the moment.

To Riverside park and back to see some colleagues.
