Racing diary: Wrekin Training Run 5/5/10

Wrekin run in the mist and rain.

Route
Tried to push myself going up the hills and gentle jog on the flat bits. Out for about an hour and a half. Not my best run, it all seemed a bit of an effort. I could only just be bothered to carry a very small log back for the wood burner. Must try harder next time.
