Week 6 Run 2

Hi folks,

I wasn't sure if I was going to get this in today as I have just spent the last 24 hours with my son at a uni interview at Plymouth! He got an offer so that was worth it!

It's an awful drive there and back to Plymouth so I was feeling quite shattered. I came straight in, got changed and went out. I seemed to up my pace a bit tonight partly because the woodland that runs along the opposite side of the road I go down seemed scarier today, it was chucking it down and there was a weird bloke staring at me from the shadows!

So that's that done and looking forward to doing the biggy on Friday after work!! Eeeek!

Great news that your son got an offer and well done still heading out after a stressful drive. That sounds creepy, some guy hovering about in the wood in the dark. Perhaps he was w1r1 and scared to show himself! Maybe a different route when you're running alone in the dark?

Yes definitely going to do a different route on Friday! It's a strange place where I live, there's a wide demographic peoplewise! (That's the diplomatic way of putting it!!!) xxx

Haha I was laughing to myself that if I'd got that on too, I'd have arrived home before I'd left I'd have been so fast!!!! :-) xxx
