... and went for a wonderful walk instead! I met my sister - a seasoned walker -and we walked briskly along the Thames Path from Clifton Hampden to Days Lock in our pukka walking boots and (much-needed) wet-weather gear. We met some bullocks wandering free - 'You need to make yourself big' said Jill, holding her arms out to the sides. 'I thought that was for bears' said I - and suddenly remembered B3anyBoy. I hope he knows that.
We did a round trip of 6 miles, pretty briskly (with a couple of stops to admire the scenery and get ridiculously excited about the water going up and down in the lock) and it took us 2 hours, ending with a super pub lunch. I suddenly realised with a gulp that I will be RUNNING that far at the end of May in my London 10k race (hopefully in a BIT less than 2 hours!). But hopefully there won't be too many stiles, bullocks or foul-smelling mud along Victoria Embankment that day......but probably no pub lunch either
How great that this programme is getting me all physical in my other activities. Previously we would have just met to go shopping
