It was a terrible LR, but on a lovely route! From Glen Parva to the south of Leicester, northwards along the canal and following the river Soar through the city centre and onwards to Watermead Country Park before looping my way back again.

It was the fifth time I was running it, but I wasn’t feeling it on this occasion: I spent the first quarter of the run wanting to turn back before finally sorting myself out mentally and going with it. But two thirds of the way in, it all began to fall slowly apart and in the end I had to run (1k) / walk (0.2k) my way home…

No obvious explanation springs to mind, so chalk it down to “one of those days” and prepare for the next one!
