5k Easy Run in the Afternoon Sun – 33:43
Posted on Apr 27, 2011 under 5k, Easy Runs, Trail Running | 3 CommentsHad an appointment in the morning, so was running later than usual, but quite enjoyed the idea of running late afternoon – maybe long runs would be better early evening to avoid glare of the sun overhead!
Set off at a very easy pace, downhill into the woods for a little bit of scenic trail running, and walked up the steep hills for a breather. Got hot in the second half of the run with the sun and inclines, but took it very slowly as I wound back up the hill of Stockport Road to reach home, sprinted past a girl jogger at the end as I was feeling good and could have maintained a much quicker pace, but enjoyed the easiness of the easy run in the afternoon sun!

Hi Paul, no is a hill leading to Stockport from Denton, or vice versa – there seem to be a million and 1 Stockport Roads round here!
