Off Season 2018-19

[marathondan]

Completely failed to find time / energy to run last weekend, or the adjacent weeks. However, the fates were aligned yesterday and I managed the long route to Windsor, along the Thames towpath. It was a textbook glorious Autumn day, not a cloud in the sky, and nature had laid down the red carpet for me along the riverbank. The rowing season seems over, so I didn't see a single active watercraft for once. As I skirted Dorney Lake there was a 5K race in progress. So for a while I was able to run 10m or so from the pack, with a fence between us. I was glad that, even though I had 5 miles or so to go, I had nothing to prove today.

It's a shame that this route takes in 4 miles or so of road, to get onto it and then on to my final destination, but it's a cracking route at a shade under 10 miles. If I could keep it up weekly that would be tremendous. Of course I won't, but it was another good try at getting back into the habit.
