Hey Friends!
Today I did my long run for the week, 7 miles down the canal
and around Oxford town.
Best point of the run: meeting another ‘Benji’ (my dog at
home, a border terrier), and having him follow me down the canal path before I
had to take him back to his owner- called me the Pied piper (of dogs) of
Oxford!
Low point: definitely should have wrapped up warmer, shorts
and t-shirt just aren’t enough anymore.
Though kudos to the tourist (I’ll let you assume his
nationality) who decided to take a few photos of me as I ran around
Christchurch meadows. Felt like a running model…repping the cold, red lobster, confused-at-why-you're-now-filming look.
Ooh, but I miss out the most exciting part, here it is:
This is so much easier and more accurate to use than ‘Map my
run’ and today it had its first test-drive, I think I’ll call him Marvin. Yes I
name inanimate objects, and yes it is lime green because it’s the best, rockin
colour which is making a come back. Slowly, but surely. Ok, probably only to me.
Also, my good friend sent me this as motivation, it
made me chuckle. And I set it as the wallpaper for my phone, because if I'm honest, it worked.
This week training will be:
- A few shorter runs, (3-4 miles)
- Gym time with Zara- the legendary friend who’s also running the Silverstone Half Marathon with me in March (prep for the full one!)
- Leg-butt-tum strengthening exercises, oh the joys of squats and Cassey on Blogilates.
Hope you are all well, and as always any donations for
Amnesty International (charity I’m running the Marathon for) are always massively appreciated and most welcome Xx
