After visiting Wakehurst Place with Lucas and his daughter (and thanks to Steve for a brilliant mini-tour!) and then spending the rest of the afternoon tending the garden, my hayfever had a wild time last night and first thing this morning. By the time I finally got my nose under control to get out running it was almost ten.
I ran to the Beacon and back, outbound via Ditchling Common and the chicken farms and inbound via Lodge Hill and Oldlands Mill. It was the first proper t-shirt & shorts day and although it wasn’t really that warm, it was still quite pleasant.
5.75 miles to the Beacon took me one hour (er, 5.75mph), while the 5 miles back took me 50 minutes (6mph). Overall 10.75 in 1.50 (average 5.86mph). Really, very pleasant run.
Nice one David. Looks like a nice day on the south coast. Running is so much nicer when you don’t have to wear multiple layers! Hope we can do another run together soon.
Hi David, great blog! I am inspired by your posts to go for a 10k run this evening!
