Well that's the first one under the belt, 2.15 miles in 23 mins 14 seconds (10:48mpm). Took it pretty slowly/steadily out along the switchback road on what race organisers would describe as an undulating route. And blimey was the first mile tough on my poor old lungs! No real running for 5 months and my chest felt like the proverbial elephant was sitting on it, but at the turn around point it started to ease and breathing wasn't so laboured on the way back. Legs felt fine though, good old muscle memory! The first run after a long lay off is always the worst, glad it's out of the way! Probably won't be able to walk for a week now. (Steve)
