Back to the treadmill and 11 miles to go

So I’ve realised I’ve become a bit of a running bore. I was at an Enjoy England do last night, someone asked me how the running was going and that was it… I was off for a good hour or so, trying to convince all and sundry to come and run the Brighton Marathon next year (which I’ve signed up for by the way; if I get into London too, I’ll have two marathons in a week!).

Today’s run was a pretty perfunctory one in the gym in Streatham with a particularly horrible episode of Jeremy Kyle for company. Some couple from Crawley had been on holiday and she was convinced he was sneaking out in the night to the burger bar, where he was having an illicit affair – oh the glamour.

Anyway, it seemed she was completely loopy, was a huge pothead and also violent ‘I only attack him after four pints of cider and two bottles of wine’ was her justification. It’s not often I’d take the bloke’s side in a domestic but his nose bore testamony to the pint glass she’d smashed him on the head with!

Just 11 miles to go to hit 1095… do I change the name of the site when I still have more than 80 days to run to complete the year?

If you want to join me on Saturday – there are about ten of us running so far – here are the details:

We’ll be meeting under the big arch thing (Wellington Arch) at Hyde Park Corner at 10am.
You can see the route by clicking here … it’s a five miler.
We’ll head up from HPC to Marble Arch, cut along the top of the path, go diagonally down the through road and along the south side of the park to Kensington.
From here its up past Kensington Palace and along Bayswater Road before going back down the diagonal and back to the starting point.
We should be done for opening time and a couple of shandies in a Shepherd Market boozer!
