Congratulate me father, for I have runned.... So after moving house I found a new course and decided it was time for week 8.... Up to this point I've run majestically (assuming by majestically you understand I mean like a jointy clown bouncing on the ample bosom of a lady running for a bus).... Along a pretty flat stretch of canal path.... This course is all kinds of different, lots of up and down, testing my training in terms of both stamina and breathing. It also has several potholey sections.
28 minutes, the big difference is that I can no longer get away with my chocolate biscuit and coffee hydration programme that has served me well, but once again kudos to the app and the lovely Sarah, I had the tools to get through successfully.
'So, what of your dignity' I hear absolutely no one ask.... Well I'm going to tell you anyway.... Turns out I run very close to a a high school and the girls especially are a tad on the cheeky side.... Even through my ear buds I could hear the cat calls and whistles....I decided to change to a parallel path and as I did so, failed to notice a pothole. As I stumbled into and then out of the hole I was determined not to stop running and did a sort of half run half dance step, resulting in an appreciative cheer from the young ladies.... It was over very quickly but my knee twisted (all strapped up today) and I think I left my dignity in a bush, I must remember to go look for it today....
Fish, chips and mushy peas!
