Super Sunday

Sunday Gang Aber' 130311
This week we were greeted by the most pleasant of mornings for our Sunday morning run out from Llanfairfechan over the Carneddau towards Abergwyngregyn. We were pleased to welcome Ali' Lavender along to join us on the run following her physio' session with Andy the previous evening. This week has seen me complete another 100 miles + and the benefits seem to be paying off. Today in particular I felt very, very strong and I am pleased to say the Gary also appeared to be bouncing, indicating his continued fitness. Indeed, after over an hour I felt suitably warmed and we enjoyed the challenging route with it's climbs and descents over our preferred route on the Carneddau. Having completed just over the two hour mark, the group subsided at various points, leaving Gary and I to concentrate on adding a few valuable extra miles to the route, taking in an excursion via the falls at Aber' to visit the slopes of Moel Wnion, before finally descending into Abergwyngregyn with over 17 miles in the bag. The next three weeks will see my long runs' eventually extended to almost the 4 hour mark, hopefully preparing me for the 50km race in May. I guarantee that this will come around a lot quicker than I expect, I only hope that I am ready!
