Zip wire, Segways and Hills!

I woke up on Sunday morning feeling remarkably fresh after my long run on Saturday, which was lucky really as we were having a day out to Dumfries to go on the UK's Longest Zipwire and to go on a Segway tour! The zipwire was disappointing really - it was very long, but after the intial launch which had speed it was remarkably slow! I wouldn't recommend it!  However, the Segways were great fun ... but dangerous! I will blog about these two experiences in more detail on my Bucketlist Blog as these are now both ticked off the list!


According to the bible (Marathon Training plan!) tonight's run was 5 mile hill training - and that's exactly what I did! Luckily by the time I was ready to run the rain had stopped BUT it had turned very muggy and close! I ran to my chosen hill as a warm up and then braced myself for the repeats to come!  I managed 7 climbs followed by cool down descents - perhaps I should find a hill with less people around - I had a feeling tonight the men in white coats were waiting for me! 



In a perverse sort of way I actually enjoyed the challenge of the hill and relished trying to retain a decent pace even after already running up it several times and nearly dying of exhaustion! Hills are our friends and all that! You can view my efforts here! and I did a total of 5.28 miles which I'm pleased with!
