I did my last Wherryman's Way run this morning but did the reverse route, going from Halvergate to Reedham.
The weather was mainly light rain, interspersed with short patches where it was dry, and finished with heavier (but still not bad) rain - given my first Wherryman's Way run two months ago was also wet (but a lot colder especially when lost...), it was a little poetic.
On Facebook, I follow Great Superhero Run (https://www.facebook.com/greatsuperherorun?fref=ts), who raise money running marathons dressed as Spiderman, Iron Man, and Batman for the RNLI.
They live in Norfolk, and two of them were on the Wherryman's Way, near Reedham, on their way to Great Yarmouth - unfortunately I did not realised until about a minute later as they were not in costume but it did give me a boost as they became the first people I have ever seen on the route when I have been running.
I ended up doing 16 miles as by the time I reached the last bit, there was a risk I was be running towards the Humpty Dumpty 10k runners - all 400 of them! - so I took a diversion which added a mile to the route but I did discover another permissive pathway as a result.
Having washed, and got changed I found I was so tired from this morning's run I went to bed for an hour, which is highly unusual as I do not do mid-day sleeps.
I suspect the combination of 8 miles yesterday, along with doing a lot of housework and gardening, and also being up late, and then doing 16 miles today was too much with too little sleep.
Early night for me tonight.
With this weekend's running done, there are just six runs left - 2x6miles mid-week, 2x10 miles next weekend, and 2x3 miles next week - feels very much like home straight territory.
