Having spent Sunday procrastinating myself out of a run… I decided, spur of the moment, to throw my running gear into the car boot as I left yesterday evening for the journey up north.

So having taken in Market Harborough, Kettering and Peterborough today, I found myself late afternoon in a B&B in the middle of nowhere with my running shoes staring at me… giving me the look of a pleading puppy… “come on Dad, let’s go running”.  So with the sun setting and a quick look at Google I was out the door.

Whilst I had packed my running stuff, I had forgotten my running watch.  Being in strange lands it seemed sensible to take my phone – something I never usually do.  So I set the timer running, turned left and started running towards the golf course.  I have no idea how far I ran – somewhere between 2 and 3 miles.  I know my pace was quick because my lungs hurt.  I jumped ditches, ran across fields, over greens, round bunkers, sacred ducks settling down for the evening, and ran home along a road.  I also got lost a couple of times… which made having Google Maps with me very helpful.

All in all a nice little romp in the countryside.
