Silver wedding aniv long run

25 years ago got married to mrsmackem, a long run seems an appropriate way to mark that,all joy, comittment, stamina,fun and a little pain (but pain that passes and leaves you stronger).
Worked out a way to run together too.
So I drove out to Kettlewell and ran back along the warfe to burnsall where I met L (customarily late having sprayed the decking, sorted the boys, collected the lawnmower and done the recyling), At slightly slower pace we returned to Kettlewell with my long run (mara training) and hers (half mara training done.
Having realised that my training schedule will result in me running Kielder a week later than the other 1800 I needed to lose a week, in my head I need to not miss those 32K runs, and holiday may complicate matters, so I effectively jumped forward a week, so now on schedule for oct 17. It is odd how I swing with each run, sometimes sure I will run 3:30 and today no so sure I will do 4.
Managed the water better today with backpack sucky thing, 4 sucks a mile kept my wee pale. Must get some gels though.
