Notes

First two easy miles with Evgenia (one mile out to the left and back home) and then I carried on extending my run to 5.7 miles. It was nice running with Evgenia again. She is a nice pace strong young runner. She had not run at all over last 3 weeks so I was happy that she made the decision to do a couple of miles and no more.

As for me today I was out there for a pleasant surprise as I discovered a new route to extend my usual Springholm Loop to a longer distance interesting run. It is so beautiful not just when I think out of the box but also when running 'out of the usual routines' and towards unfamiliar routes. This new road somehow it appeared as almost from nowhere. All this time (2.5 yrs) I had not noticed the link from the main road to a side country road linked back to the village via the A75. I am so excited about it and I am going to call it 'Eleni's Springholm Loop'. The whole loop must be around 7 miles which allows me now to run further and have some nice hills into the route. It is actually a nice steep hill of approx. 1 mile + pending on which way I choose to run. So, this will be excitement for Frankie too when soon will be visiting Springholm.

Despite the fact that I felt pretty tired I did enjoy the run in more than one ways. CS still not bothering me at all. It is all good.
