Actually there was no beyond - but I did get as far as Sea Mills railway station which is a fair way down the Portway towards the M5 - so officially about 15 and a half miles there and back - which is my longest run so far - although the last half hour was a bit of a run/walk affair with very heavy legs. Quite enjoyed it overall and was out for nearly 3 hours (that shows how slow I was towards the end - but at least I got the miles in my legs and can build on that. Nothing too exciting to report - loads of tourists around the harbour, I think the SS Great Britain must be open for half-term - I tried to take a picture of the 'Clifton doves' on my phone but you can't see anything - no, that's not a local indie band, but they are actually doves which roost in the cliffs below the suspension bridge and circle the gorge. Quite a lovely sight, generally! It was supposed to be a sunny day but was mostly grey and even a bit drizzly at times.
Have enjoyed recovering from that exertion by watching all the sport on telly this afternoon - really enjoyed seeing Chelsea get knocked out of the FA cup by Everton and then seeing Mo Farah break the British record was a real pleasure. Just a shame the mighty Crawley Town didn't beat Man United!
Zoe has been helping me design my fancy dress for the Marathon - a rainbow coloured net skirt to go over my running leggings! We even found some probably suitable fabric on ebay! So watch this space!
