Yesterday's disastrous outing combined with my recent achilles issue and my Peruvian trip has all rendered Marathon Eryri at the end of October an increasingly unlikely objective. I decided that today was the last chance to start training, albeit it is already too late to start properly. I set a minimum target of 15 miles, and would 'run to feel' having abandoned last Tuesday. I set off from Rhuddlan under cloudy skies and within the first mile realised I was back to something approaching normal, and my HR confirmed this. I kept the pace slow, however, and was also troubled by my achilles again (brought on by yesterday's fell shoe outing I suspect). But the heel improved as I climbed gently up to Meliden, fortunately. Through Prestatyn to the Nova Centre and then the long but enjoyable haul along the familiar territory of the prom all the way to Kinmel Bay. The forecast rain started in earnest here, along with a stiff breeze, so I doubled back seeking the shelter of West Rhyl back to Rhuddlan.
