Today I ran about 14 miles. I'm a bit tired, but ok.

Last Saturday I did a 10 mile run, and during the week I had two or three 5 mile runs.

I am aiming to get back into running six days a week at least, just like I did for most of the first six months of last year. But it's going well. I just need to continue to step things up.

People still burn open fires and stoves up here, so the air is smokey wherever there are houses. If I go out running really early, like 5 am or something, then I can avoid the smoke. Carbon emissions..? lol.

It's really unpleasant, especially as it's hilly here, you breathe deeply. I try control my breathing until i'm past the offending houses. Teddybear. There are not many roads, so the smoke can't really be avoided.

Midsummer isn't quite so bad, but even in July and August people still burn fires, because summer isn't warm here, just less cold.

Ok, i'm away to fetch the garlic bread from the oven.
