Six miles to Horsecroft Suffolk

Share

My run this morning was an easy 6 miler. Three miles out to Horsecroft and back.

It is mostly up hill on the way but with the downhill return to look forward to.My split times for the miles reflect this:


8.58,9.22,8.49,8.28,8.28 and 8.08

A grey morning with some sleet and snow in the air.

26 miles in the bag for the week just leaves tomorrows long run to complete week 6 and 42 days of training for my half marathon at the end of March.

Howard Estate & Bury Golf Course Bury St Edmunds Suffolk

Share
10am 7.2 miles in 57 minutes 8 seconds.

Week to date mileage 24

Month to date mileage 24

Average weekly rate 33.9

Average Monthly rate 147

Weather: Cold and grey

Course - I ran from the County Upper School and decided not to follow any particularly course. I ended up running through the
Howard Estate to places I am never been before. There is a small wood fenced to one side by the A14 and the other by Bury golf course. It was a dingy place full of litter and not a place I shall return to again.

I decided to head toward Fornham via the Bury Golf Course. There is a right of way which runs beside the river. However you do have to be mindful of the golfballs. Golfers have to play a shot over the river and of course try to avoid anyone on the right of way.

You do feel a bit vulnerable and as if you are trespassing on the golf course though of course this is a clear right of way. The weeping willows and the old bridges along here are worth seeing.

All in all a strange run where I didn't have a course to follow and as a result the run lacked purpose. However I did visit one or two place I have never been before
