After yesterday, the run this morning was always going to be a slightly more genteel event! I had the privilege of being joined (though that may have been followed) by Kim as we vaguely followed Daren’s route on a gorgeous, sunny morning.
Kim looks very appealing in her running stuff and as a result we almost got eaten by a herd of growing calves who thought that she might be a tasty snack. Dai had carefully explained how to whisper to a horse yesterday and so we (sufficiently savvy to know that these were not horses) ran away. In a straight line!
We also surprised a railway engineer laying down on the job in a most dangerous fashion… face down along the parapet of a railway bridge with no safety harness, pointing the brickwork below him! He almost jumped out of his skin when I said good morning! Sorry chap!
Between our bovine escape and Kim stopping to chat up a few people en route, our time was not great, but it was a lovely run nevertheless. 9km or just over five and a half miles in one hour ten minutes.
