I’m trying to remain aloof from Daren ‘I’ve run up a 1000m mountain twice this week’ Packham‘s various acerbic comments. I’m sure that some form of bovine retribution (eg. a misplaced footfall in a recently deposited cowpat) will have to be forthcoming at some point.
I think the Girl Guides (who are in Division 2 of the Men’s Fitness League) are secretly pleased that Daren is putting some effort in again… they are tired of always being on top and are looking forward to him giving them a run for their money. Very tempting spoonerism there!
This morning I embarked on yet another flat run… and short too. I did my increasingly normal midweek mini circuit to Wivelsfield & back, the 5.2 miles taking me 45 minutes… just over 6.9 mph.
The weather was really strange. At 6am it was the most beautiful summer morning but by the time I left the house at just after 7am it was cloudy and dark… like I should be expecting heavy rain. The rain did not materialise but running through the woods I had to remove my Oakleys because I couldn’t see!
