Since recovering from my ankle injury, I had not done any long runs that weren’t races. But I had an empty weekend ahead, so I figured it was time! And I decided to do an old favourite: around Moel Wnion. And I went after breakfast, as it would be raining in the afternoon.
It was dry, but it was windier than I had anticipated. But initially I had the wind in the back. I went anticlockwise this time.

It was nice to run into the hills again! I hadn't done much of that recently. And I don't get beyond y Gyrn much.
When I got to Ffridd Ddu the sun came out. But it still was very windy! I started to get tired of the endless noise in my ears. And there pretty much was no shelter at all along the way. I just plodded on.

Where the path curves into Bwlch ym Mhwll Lle there was shelter. It was lovely! So quiet. But also very brief.
Close to the village I bumped into walking ladies, one of which was Sara, the first person I followed on Bluesky. And then I was home.
It has been a veritable plod! But it seems to be good for you to sometimes do that. Not everything has to be high intensity. And the views had been great! And with it being spring now, I might do this more often. In winter I often end up on the roads because the hills are just too soggy. But this is a lot nicer!
