Tonight was a pub run… these take place on the first Tuesday of each month. We meet at a pub. We run. We return to the pub and have a drink. It’s not complicated.
So at 18:45 I left the house to run to the pub (something I have never had a problem with). I arrived having already put 0.75 miles on the clock. This being the first meet of the New Year it attracted about 50 made people all congregating outside the Elly waiting for instructions. The Crazies left first (it’s good to get them out the way) before the rest of us were split into three groups. in the confusion I accidently found myself in the fast division of the intermediates. Also, for the first time, with a different leader… and blimey, she was relentless. Lovely… but relentless.
We ran down hills, we ran up hills, we took the long way round when there were quicker routes we could have taken. We ran at a pace that at times was touching 7 min/miles. By the time I crossed the threshold of home again I had done 8.2 miles. Not bad for a Tuesday night.
I keep trying to persuade BGG to join the herd… he keeps finding excuses. If only MLCMM lived a little closer.
January resolutions... Pah
