Coasting.

 I had a week in Cornwall last week in our caravan, my first visit for over 20 years brought about by the Covid restrictions on international travel.  I can foresee  a bit of a dilemma in future years where I will have a really good almost new caravan needing to be used and the opportunity to go aboard at the same time.  It gives me options, but I expect 'decent weather' will trump 'potential decent weather' most times so watch this space.

I managed to get some decent running in though in the South West, just over 40 miles for the week and most of those were up and down, not at all like I'm used to in Lincolnshire.  The main route covered the SWCP (South West Coastal Path).  I also reduced my deficit to my plan, down to about 12 miles from over 40 so I need to make sure it doesn't slip[ as far as that again.  The 1000 miles plan works at about at just under 3 miles a day, which on the face of it sounds easy but coupled with my 5000 mile cycle plan is proving more difficult than I imagined.  In theory, I should be able to build a cycling buffer up with a running deficit in summer, then catch up with running in winter but at the moment I'm tracking just a bit below on both.  Hopefully a bit of dry weather will allow me to up my cycling, it's been a very wet late May and June even if it has been warm.
