10 mile day

first of two posts--short and sweet i ran 10 miles this morning after oversleeping a bit;; read too late last night about periodzation and then didn't get up as usual. but ran out botley to near cumnor and then up to wytham and then over to wolvercote and then to the oxford canal and then down the canal thru the railroad station and stopped at the store to et some yogurt and cereal.
all in a decent effort; keep an eye on the left heel-- felt strong though a tad tired about 5 minutes in;; could tell i need another easy day or two to recover more completely , but that is one of the things i wanted to see today; and a lot of the run was uphill also. will stretch more than i have been in the future and make the easy days easier and commit to a day off every week and 2 days off every other week and see how that works. has been hard to set a schedule and keep itdue to several things-weather , food , tred, gail's schedule and flooding on the river and canal. but i only missed 18 days last year so i have been pretty consistent. not doing the 200 mile bike weeks right now so getting more miles in. will be glad to be home and do both instead of just one. easier to stay fresher that way and also the bike clearly helps my leg tuunover;; ran 10 by 42 yard striders the other day and that will help also;
supposed to rain every day and will see how that plays on the shedule.
the color of the sky here never ceases to amaze me;; just how different it is from back home and why the paintings here are different -like constable and even monet's;
back later-
