A very windy run on part of the Seaford half marathon route: to High and Over, then down to Alfriston, along the Cuckmere to the sea and back over Seaford Head. Cloudy for the first half, but sunny later. All the sheep have lambed now, even those on the highest parts of the Downs.
The wind, and some very muddy conditions in the Cuckmere valley, slowed me down.

Four weeks till the Three Forts Marathon, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to miss it. I'm looking for another late spring or early summer marathon somewhere reasonably local. The Isle of Wight seem possible, and they run the race for the 50th time this year.
