Run 2 - Sunday Jan 8 2017

Total distance so far this year: 16.36 km

Added 9.32km today, and feeling the lack of exercise over the past few weeks. The lingering after effects and exertion yesterday meant I had to dig deep.

The routes I run are in and around Royal Tunbridge Wells, and flat it is not. Situated in the North Downs in Kent you'll find that any direction you go is either uphill or down. There do seem to be an awful lot of ups compared to the downs.

Today's run started like yesterday, but after heading out of Dunorlan Park, turned out of town and headed out along Forest Road before dropping down past the Nevill Cricket Grounds ending up near the Panties. Then a climb back through town followed by the final kilometre descent back to base.

First run of the year - Saturday 7 Jan 2017

Total distance so far this year: 7.04 km.

A new year, so reset the totals, dust off the running shoes, commit to your new year's resolution and get out there.

After a couple of weeks off a fairly decent 7.04 km covered.

I'm never one to worry about time, but this was slow.

Start with a 2 km climb, through Dunorlan Park, along the boating lake, gradual climb out to the main road, then flat through town, continue a slight downward slope heading Northwards and finally the last kilometre downhill.
