What do you do when you're on your holiday and need to do a long run at the weekend -- find a local race !!! Ran the Ruby run -- 13.5 miles between Hatherleigh and Holsworthy in Devon. Fiendishly hilly and a very hot day I ran it as fast hard training run. Averaged 8 minute miles -- wasn't tempted to race it -- apart from getting carried away by the start which I ran a little fast and the finish when I got into a sprint with a sixteen year old -- I won !!! Three runs last week -- doing not too bad, a bit less this week but I should manage 5 or six miles tomorrow.
