7 DAY OUTAGE!

Last time we spoke I was in a bit of Knee Niggle Hell, but it has since calmed down to normal behaviour. However I haven't run for 7 days which for me is a long time, but I'm sure that the rest has helped healing. Not that I'd have had a chance to run anyway, owing to having to be at work at 7.30am and then home by 8pm. Nightmare daaahhhliiing! But that's showbiz I guess.

So hopefully this Saturday morning should see me tonking out a nifty 7K along the river. Really looking forward to it too. When I was riding home last night through Barnes and Mortlake (both riverside towns) I got jealous seeing all the runners bashing out their K's with gay abandon along the Thames. Good luck to them all I say!

I'm off to Cornwall to stay with the in laws for a few days from Saturday, so I'm gonna bring my running shoes and lycra budgie smuggler tights with me too, just in case I get the urge (so to speak). Don't want to scare my Mum in law, so have to be careful of rampant strutting!

Ok, back to work I go.....

Happy running to you all.

Dan

'Budgie Smuggler Tights'!!! I'm guffawing now, Dan!! Go carefully on that poor knee and enjoy Cornwall- t sounds like you could do with some time away. (Perhaps you could wear a skirt over the top so as not to frighten or worry Mrs Dan's mum!!

Thanks Flossie. Luckily Mrs Dans Mum is well versed in my unusual behaviour!

I'm sure you'll be ticke-de-booh after 7 days rest. Enjoy the Saturday run along the river.

As someone who lives next to a canal with a lovely path running along it, I'm envious of people living close to the Thames Path. Like everything down south, it is lovely :)

Hello Dan, curious where in Cornwall, do I remember its Gwithian way ?

It's Saltash - just a stones throw from the Tamar Bridge!

I hope you soon feel better Dan and find your former running prowess in Cornwall. Pull your tee shirt well down and you'll not alarm the rellies!

I think the only thing likely to be horrified at my lycra covered posterior are some local cows and the odd sheep.... :-)
