The alarm was set for 7.30 this morning and I woke up ten minutes before it went off and went downstairs to find it was only twenty past six. But I minded not, as it was a stunningly beautiful morning and the extra hour meant that I got to sit outside in the teahouse with [...]
Daren, Andy and I met at Jack & Jill windmills this morning for a quick run before (a late) breakfast. It was a beautiful morning, as can be seen from the photos.
We ran up to the top of the first hill and left down the tank tracks to the gate at the bottom. We made [...]
This morning I drove down to Stamner Park to go for a run with a bunch of friends… Cliff, Andy, Paula, Nikki and the ever elusive Daren, whose head I seem to have squished in order to get Nikki & Cliff in!

I think the Girl Guides (who are in Division 2 of [...]
I pulled up at Falmer pond behind a guy limbering up to go running and asked him if he was running with Andy? ’Yes’, came the reply, ‘but how did you know to come here?’ It turned out that he had only just changed the meeting point and was waiting for a different Andy to me!
