This weekend I truly mastered the the art of running slow enough for it not to be classed as an easy run, the sort of pace where you could just keep on going.
One mistake was not to put any sun protection on, so I now have the "caught the sun" look this evening - time to apply it each run from now on, unless of course it is bucketing it down.
With my weight unsurprisingly continuing to drop at the rate of about 1lb a week, one of the causes is the calorie gap caused by all the running - today I burned about 1200 calories - and this is creating upwards of 1000 calorie deficit, particularly on Sunday long run days.
So yesterday I had a chocolate Rice Krispie cake (150cal) that I made to use up some Rice Krispies that no one was eating, and today I had two plus a small choc ice! Despite a hearty dinner, I am still below my calories but the gap will at least be smaller.

Reedcutter Inn pub (Cantley) at the start of the route along the river to Reedham
The first bit passes the Sugar Factory in Cantley
A quarter of a mile of uncut path involving a lot of stinging nettles - a definite don't think about it, just run through as fast as possible and man-up when the stings kick in....
Derelict windmill with a working one in the distance
Reeds that have cut and left to dry.
Reedham Ferry Inn
Converted windmill into a "house" aka Jonathan Creek
End of the river route for me as I then turn into Reedham before heading home.
