However (whatever it&#8217;s called), it was just good to get out when I never got out Monday (combination of feeling lousy and heavy rain) or Tuesday (feeling worse) and, while one rest day might be desirable and two tolerable for a good reason (like picking up an annoying cold), three&#8217;s starting to sound a bit worrying! So happy to report that I&#8217;m feeling a bit better now (despite coughing a bit when I got in) after covering the nine mile loop (with c.2,000 ft ascent) in under 87 mins, which doesn&#8217;t feel like hanging about on that terrain.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petestack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-04-21map.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1861\" title=\"2010-04-21map\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petestack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-04-21map-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petestack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-04-21map-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.petestack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-04-21map.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of my regular runs have names, or at least labels I use to identify them for logging purposes.
