Breaking the silence
So what have I been doing for the last week? Resting on my laurels? No! Last week I managed 8 miles - very slowly - in the bucketing rain at Tiratanaloka. It was hard going though and I felt as if my legs belonged to someone else (much older) at the end. This is how wet it was - I was able to wring water from my shirt as I was running, and the rain running into my ears kept washing my iPod earbuds out!!
At the moment I’m in Colchester and am about to do a 5 mile run on a mixture of pavement (not nice, lots of noisy traffic) and roads (through an army firing range which always lends a frisson of excitement to the proceedings).
I’ve entered the Great Wales Run, a 10K race in Cardiff, on 27th July so I can see what it’s like running with lots of other people on an unfamiliar route. Lots of advice and encouragement from the lovely Dee yesterday which was really helpful. And thanks a million if you’ve sponsored me!
