Day 315 today, 49 days left to go and it was a bit of a bitty run.
Lovely countryside again but I set off in a direction I’m not familiar with, towards a village called Wike. Conveniently, it’s almost exclusively uphill 
good training at least for the Athens Marathon I am attempting in October which is one of the steepest marathons in the world.
The problem was that I had little idea where I was going and so had to keep getting my iPhone out to check the GPS to see where I was. At one point, I knew there was a turn back in the direction I was supposed to return but instead, I decided to carry on past it and take the next turn.
In principle, it was a great idea but it actually added two miles onto the route meaning I did a seven miler today to add to yesterday’s eight miler. In other words, in the last two days, I have ran the same distance I used to run in five days.
As this challenge draws to a close it seems strange to be talking about these distances given 315 days ago I used to struggle to even make the five miles.
