Buddy up!
Feb2720117 p.m.
Yesterday I had the unusual situation of having a running buddy - way_too_slow was kind enough to sort out a 12.25 mile route round Windsor Great Park on Saturday (we had been talking about doing a run together for well over a year, so finally we managed to get around to it!) and it took around 2.5 hours.
Apart from the slightly rainy climate (gotta love England) the run was a lot of fun, taking in a few nice small hills and there seemed to be every dog walker in Berkshire (and/or Surrey!) wandering around, too.
The company was great to have - the conversation was fab and meandered like the best chats do and it was probably a good thing to give my ipod a rest - I also got some great tips for the actual day which is like insider info! Plus, I practised with gels for the first time. Am going to try ShotBlox next weekend but I liked the SiS energy gels I tried this weekend.
SO! 12.25 miles done, next weekend is 14 miles (ooer that sounds a LONG way) and I am going to have to work out a route, which may be running to Richmond, going around the park and then back again. I'll map it out.
Plus - another bonus - we won the rugby! Marvellous, alors ;)
See you this week for more exciting updates from Camp Pixie
