North Downs Run 30k today. I entered a few weeks ago on the basis of being 95% confident my achilles injury was behind me, and hoping it would spur me to get back to some fitness. Was slightly dreading the wheels falling off at some stage, having not run any further than 11 miles since February, but I held it together pretty well and I suspect 500+ miles of cycling so far this month hasn't done my endurance fitness any harm. Finished 12th overall, 3rd V40, and ran three minutes faster than last year. (When conditions were worse, but anyway...) Achilles feels fine, legs not too battered and I didn't lose any places in the last 10k, so pretty pleased with the run altogether. Such a well organised event and the free cake, tea and squash at the end went down a treat.
