[Charliecat5]

I have a somewhat obsessive personality, so since I have found myself enjoying this running lark the love of my life has been somewhat neglected. So this morning, realising I couldn’t stand the sobbing coming from the garage any longer, I saddled her up for a beautiful ride over the Downs.

Juggs Road to Kingston, up onto the ridge top and then along the SDW to Southease heading back along the river. All in all it was 11 miles in just over an hour. This has given me a great route idea for my next running target – a 10 miler. I was sorely tempted at Southease to carry on over Firle and back through Glynde but had been “told” before I left this morning that I had to be home in good time, only to return to find “her who told me” still lounging about in bed!

I did try peanut butter on toast this morning as a pre-ride snack, but it didn’t sit very comfortably, probably because I was still eating it as I set off. On my return I cooked up scrambled eggs on toast – I only mention this as I was persuaded by a very nice guy at the Brighton food fest this avo to purchase a jar of salsita de chiles ahumados – a rare chilli paste hand made in Mexico using the pasilla Oaxaca chilli which is, apparently, twice as smoky as a chipotle and goes brilliantly with scrambled eggs – I am told.
