Missed my target by a few minutes which is disappointing. Legs felt quite heavy as I made my way out, and I don't think the impromptu opening ceremony celebrations did much to help that!

Still, managed to get out relatively early before the temperature started picking up and ventured a bit further afield into Wales.

It turns out that one of the major drawbacks to running in Wales is that there are almost no flat bits! I guess in the long run it will be beneficial as I get used to running up hills, something that was missing from the majority of my training runs in Bournemouth.

Got some good snaps and am getting used to carrying around my phone, predominately to stop me getting lost on my travels!
