Running blog: how was your weekend running?

The recent days of shivering, wind-blown runs now seem but a distant memory. This weekend I found myself lolloping through picture-postcard land on a sunny, eight-mile run along the coast path in Devon.

Elsewhere, our own Kate Carter was racing to yet another personal best in the Poole 10K in Dorset, while in nearby Dartmoor they were battling through a hilly 32 miles in the Dartmoor Discovery Ultra.

But enough about events in the English south west. What have you been up to in the rest of the country, or in other parts of the world, this weekend? In South Africa, perhaps the most famous ultra marathon of them all, the Comrades Marathon, was taking place. Did you run it?

As ever, we look forward to hearing your weekend tales of running joy and pain – no matter how fast or slow – in the comments below.
