This is a lovely piece, very relevant:

I was looking for articles and videos of the Blenheim run routes to get a feel for the 10k race I'm doing in September, and I came across this. Though it's old hat for most of us now, it's so apt and encouraging:

Old hats are comfy and reassuring. For me ...I still feel like a newby on some days so this piece is apt and inspiring. Thanks for posting.

He’s local to me too, so I will check out his running club if we ever manage to sell the house and get back to Oxford 😊

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Perfect! Sounds like a great fit.

That's a lovely article, I really liked it. Did another 5k this morning and I know just what he means. 😀

[Hidden in reply to Joy57]

Glad you enjoyed it. He hit the nail on the head about running and school. So many people are put off running by memories of school athletic activities.

[Joy57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I certainly was! I hated cross country 😑

[Hidden in reply to Joy57]

Me too. I used to hide in the bushes and smoke

You will love Blenheim Flick. It is slightly hilly in places but then you are used to those! But it is so very pretty. 😊 x

Thanks that's reassuring. We used to take my daughter there when she was small, but thats a long time ago.
