The Boggart Hole Clough Route A frustrating one today as I forced myself to barely jog round a mere two laps of Boggart Hole Clough on my second club run with the Salford Harriers. Since slipping at the weekend I've been feeling a lot of tightness in my left Iliotibial band and having injured it before I really don't want to risk it flaring up again, hence the cautious, very slow sub 5 miler. Frustrating, because I want to run, frustrating because I felt self-conscious about going so slowly amongst my new running-peers, many of whom were belting along at a good speed. Thankfully it was a shorter, easier session than usual anyway as most people wanted to get back to the Bluebell to watch the World Cup! Hey Ho, You can't always run at your best!
