Ran over 11 miles today, really good running, listening to The Best of Groove Armada to spur me on.
Was going really well, the weather was great and I decided to be adventurous and go "off piste" taking a new route deep in the Foret de Soignes, a massive (10,920-acre) forest to the south-east of Brussels.
It is a great place to run. It's very difficult to get bored, with a lot of different paths and surfaces to run on and a lot of other people: horse-riders, bikers, Sunday strollers, to gawp at, as well as other runners to pace with and overtake(!).
After a while everything began to look a bit "same-y" and I ended up having to ask for directions and run back along the road.
On return home, the Garmin map shows I was actually on the right track before I turned around, but it enabled me to add a few more miles to the tally. I will definitely run here again, as I increase my mileage ahead of the London marathon. Might consult the map a bit more carefully next time...
