Run like the wind

The mid week run always harbours the potential to be a bit boring and sits high on the scales of skipping. (not the rope kind). Ray set out with me, hoping to accompany me, but his Achilles is haunting him, and he had to make a break for home 2 miles in. I cursed myself for not packing my ipod, oh well, I had lots of time to ‘meditate’ and think about very random things.

Stimulating routes of over 8 miles in NW1 are becoming a real challenge to map. I took us to and up Primrose Hill, briefly taking in the windy view, then down and round Regents and onto Hyde Park. A dark and traffic lined lap of Hyde Park was new, but not very exciting. (oh how I wish it were summer!). The high point of the run was overtaking 9 guys running 2 abreast, tied together at the waist – bizarre.

No Ted again last night, so I took Wendy to the hill and we did 7 loops. Not a particularly taxing session, but my quads still felt a little weak from Saturday. It’s still pretty cold – looking forward to ditching the gloves, hat etc, but when will this be?!
