Challenged by the Marathon

Ha we went to check a longer circular route but forgot ( and we did know) it was the World Athletic Championship Marathon in the City. We battled barriers, went one way then had to go back umpteem times. Our 45 min walk/run took an hour and that was a curtailed route. So we dived into a Prêt at the end and had ginger beer. Later it was a maple syrup and walnut flapjack at our social Sunday allotment ( one meter square boxes)

We feel much better now 😂

Aha I am sure your original plan didn't include doing the Marathon as part of your fitness induction to C25K.. well done you for working your way around all those barriers. When the City is blocked it truly is blocked
