Running (Monmouth to Skenfrith) 2:07:51 [3] 25.11 km (5:05 / km) +455m 4:40 / km
slept:4.0 weight:73.6kg shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 22 Blue
Didn't sleep well last night because of the railway works :-( And tired legs and unsettled stomach in the morning made it difficult to get the enthusiasm to go out today. There aren't many days this month where I can fit in long runs so shortening today would break the plan.
Steadily working through my list of 20 long runs, today being the 5th but not the one I was originally planning to do. Parked the car in Monmouth and went up the lanes to Skenfrith Castle, turned around and came back. Against a strong headwind all the way up, and taken a bit by surprise at how much elevation is backed into the 4k between Trigate and Skenfrith. Stomach was starting to go on descents after Trigate heading north, and pretty unbearable by Trigate coming back - and was like this for about 3 miles. Was aiming to do sub-5 min ks today but being barely able to run for a long section put paid to that. Willing it to be over for the last 5k - with it being hot too.
Quite a nice explore, passed by a grand total of 3 cars in over 1hr 50mins. Saw lots of deer, buzzards, bluebells, primroses and a SmartDitch. Might have liked to spend longer at the castle but didn't want to hang around any longer than a 1 min walk whilst eating/drinking today.
Enjoyed a nice ice cream after. Amazed at how many people were paying to park at the cattle market when the sign says charges apply on Mondays to Saturdays only.

Pretty tired after - spent 3 hours in bed recovering.
