Run, yomp and cream tea!

W8R1 in the bag! Staying with my cousin in Devon this week so did my 28 minute run down the Devon country lanes at 8 am this morning. Then dragged off to Otterton for a 5 mile hike down by the river to the beach at Budleigh Salterton and back to Otterton for a gorgeous cream tea with home made strawberry jam and lashings of clotted cream. Now recovering back at Perriton Farm absolutely knackered! Thank god I am not running again until Thursday. The highlight of the day being seeing a group of Royal Marines in full combat gear, carrying back packs and sub machine guns setting out on a 25 mile yomp. Woooohooooo!

Oh I do like a group of Yomping Royal Marines!! Makes a girl go all of a quiver! ;-) Yum yum! I used to be in the WRENS and I'm a bit partial to a RM! Used to stay at Lympstone years ago!

Oh you got me thinking of something other than running then! Haha! ;-)

Well done on the run - you deserved your cream tea!

Well done on w8r1 and although you succumbed to the cream tea with home made strawberry jam and lashings of clotted cream (who wouldn't) I'm proud of you for not succumbing to the RM ;)
