Canal Flooded on a bright day

Back on the canal today with Richard. 4 x 3/4s at about 1:38 per quarter. It felt very comfortable, and Richard ran very well so encouraged for his sub 90min half marathon attempt in a few weeks time.

The lower sections of the canal had flooded, with even the "basin" area (which is soon to be reopened after some extensive building work including the opening of the new City Inn hotel) nearly under water.

We had to try and find a way around a completely submerged towpath section. But after searching in vain for a way past it was socks and shoes off and a wade through.

A beautifully cold and sunny autumn day.

Easy days planned for tomorrow and Saturday in advance of a 21miler on Sunday morning.
