bow legged cowboy saying ouch every now and then

Week 23
Good attempt by me yesterday - 7 miles – set out on a 6 mile run after not running for 2 weeks cos of the ice – I was route confused near the end and ended up saying sod it and running the longer length as I wanted to ensure the full mileage was done - it was very useful run – really didn’t have anything left in my legs at the end so that was right on my current limit – legs are bit stiff today but no real pains or aches to worry about – will take tomorrows 3 mile run nice and easy - I need to keep it up and aim towards 8 miles next – really important I keep the mileage up as I want to be mileage ready for Wilmslow as soon as I can – don’t want to go to the race not knowing if I can do it. Didn’t time this run accurately but it was around the 10 min mile mark. First experience of runners chaffing too – that’s not funny – they were my usual shorts but slowly burned at my inner thighs – think I was wearing them a little loose will need to take care this is not happening again – very painful – will be walking like bow legged cowboy for a couple of days and saying ouch every now and then.
