Mid week training

At the suggestion of Ray and Marian at the weekend, I joined the Haywards Heath Harriers for a training session last night.

A full & fantastic weekend

We set out into the lightest Monday morning traffic that I can ever remember. I know it’s the school holidays, but the absence of a few teachers surely cannot explain why the roads weren’t clogged and heaving.

Foster walks!

And did I mention that it’s warm out today?

Crazy folk!

When Kim & I were in Seattle in June, we met Nigel & Kristin’s friends Claudia & Russell. All six of the aforementioned could be described as certifiably crazy to some extent, but I think, right at this moment, Russell takes the podium.

Chaste

The split times were all exactly the same as last Sunday, all the way to the turning point just beyond Blackcap at 47 minutes. I forgot to check as I passed the trig point at Blackcap on the way back up the hill, on account of my being chased by a large white rodent at the time.

Visitors

The shed was duly loaded into what can only be described as a prime contender for the ‘builders van of the year, 1989′ and father and sons trundled off… driving over the kerb at the corner of the road in the process.

Allarming night’s sleep

They were SO funny, their fringes cut in what I can only describe as a very haute couture style… for a humble floor mop.

Burgess Hill Runners Run

It was the Burgess Hill Runners 4.5 mile run today and as I passed the 3 mile marker, I glanced at my watch. One hour, 54 minutes. Something wasn’t right.

Reunion (the rest of the explanation)

Last weekend was the 5th anniversary of my graduation from London Business School and a good number of SEMBA2003 returned to London to attend lectures and catch up with old friends.

Surprise! (a partial explanation of my recent absence)

Our very good friends Carolyn & Scott had agreed to put up with us for the week and really were the perfect hosts
