Great run yesterday with my friend along the river after a hard day budget setting, and it was fab! We covered just under 9.5km, chatting all the way and admiring the gorgeous houses along the route! I’ll definitely be using that run more often now I know about it! There’s something really lovely about running near to water – just as long as you don’t hear a big splosh! I love new routes as the distance seems to go by much quicker if you don’t quite know what to expect.
Slightly embarrassed by how stinky my running jacket has become over the years after it has found its way to the bottom of the washing basket a few times but I have been reliably informed that soaking overnight in washing soda before popping in the machine will banish the BO! Here’s hoping – I’ll let you know how it goes as all running gear is about to be tipped into the bath!
I’ve also been given the advice to look for a running club to join. My sister-in-law (who got me into signing up for the marathon in the first place – thanks Jo!) recommended it and clearly isn’t going to let me off the hook as she has also sent through loads of links to running clubs near me! If anyone can recommend one I’d love to hear about it! In the meantime, I’ll do a bit more research and add a page of local links if anyone fancies joining one too!
