At the point that I met Mark this morning at 8am at Jack & Jill I was feeling a little jaded. Kim and I had given Karen & Fergus a lift back to East London from an interesting dinner in North London and then driven back to Sussex to arrive very slightly after 3am. [...]

I can say unequivocally that I did not want to run, such that I sat in the sun drinking coffee and avoiding it for a couple of hours this morning. The excuses that I offered myself included a stiff back from an uncomfortable night bivouacking Thursday, exacerbated by bending over a craft table mounting & framing ten [...] Three of us ran off into the gathering darkness last night and re-emerged this morning, slightly damper and not so very refreshed from a questionable night’s sleep! We gathered at Dai’s place in Patcham for a weigh-in last night with both Daren’s pack and mine showing 7.8kg. Dai’s was 1kg lighter, but then he’s not [...] The run this morning was a repeat of last week, running to the Beacon & back with my 10lb+ pack. The pack seemed quite a bit heavier as I started out and whilst it might have had a couple of additional things in it, I think it was just me finding it hard to get [...] ‘Very, very, very, very’, the nice lady in the bright pink sock near the top of Ditchling Beacon paused momentarily to find an adjective which might not offend me, settling on ‘brave’. Stupid would have been closer to the truth. The morning had started slowly, with me sleepily escaping to the tea house with a quadspresso to [...] At the end of our run on Monday, there was a short exchange that has set some very particular wheels in motion. Well, legs really. Up until that exchange, Daren had been looking for someone mad enough to run the Tour d’Mont Blanc with. ‘Nuff said? Bearing in mind that the TMB route is circa [...] Strangely, despite the severity of the run today, the reference to running stich is not passing comment on our dubious fitness levels, but rather on our poor needlework skills. After a typically lengthy absence, it was an honour today to run with The BIG Man, fresh from his travels and travails. The BIG man’s [...] A couple of weeks back I went to Plumpton Agricultural College where the Principle, Des Lambert, gave members of BHBPA a guided tour of the facility. It was a really interesting evening, which started by him driving us up onto the Downs in a LandRover to show us the college from above. Once up there he [...] … as in, the run was over and I was out for the count. I met Mark up at Jack & Jill yesterday morning for our 14 mile circuit and though it felt like an early start, it was late enough to bump into Maria coming back from a later than normal 8-mile run! We [...] I was planning to help my folks move some flotsam & jetsam and since it was likely to be another warm day, I went to bed early (after an energetic day cutting grass and polishing my car) and got up at 6am. This meant I was out running by seven and down at their place shortly after [...] |
