I apologise, the title is fairly misleading! I certainly havenโt just run the SD, rather I dipped my toe in the water! Even though the SD is literally on my doorstep, today is the first time Iโve plucked up the courage to run a tiny bit of it. I felt very brave and somewhat ambitious but told myself itโs just a bit of fun, and whatโs the worst that can happen! Anyway, first off, over the M3 motorway bridge and into a large field, lots of chalky stones underfoot, but lovely views. Then through the tiny but pretty village of Chilcomb, and up a stonking hill, where I had to rest at the top clinging onto a fence. This is the SD proper now, so on I went, following footpaths and hedgerows. I didnโt venture too far in, as things to do today, but I feel as though Iโve had an adventure all the same! Almost 12k in all, including getting to the start and back. I saw a lot of young men running too, all about 25 years younger than me, and all about a foot taller! They all looked VERY serious and probably eat 30 miles for breakfast most days ๐คฃ.
Anyway, have a lovely Easter ๐ฃ everyone. ๐๐๐
