2005 - December

[Sweder]

Sadly no dice on joining you Andy, much as I'd enjoy the tour. There's a couple on your list I've not managed to visit and would enjoy learning along with the visitors. I'm committed to a long(ish) plod Sunday morning, possibly the last before Christmas.

Good point on the gels/ drink SW. On that theme does anyone carry a 'phone on runs? I do sometimes, 'though there's not always room with the water bottle, car keys etc. It makes sense to, especially if you're away from habitation/ offroad in case of injury.

Earlier this year I pulled out of a long run with a tight hammy. It was pretty cold and I was grateful to the mobby for the emergency Mrs S call out that saved me a long limp back to the car and possible hypothermia. Money (in small amounts) is also a useful companion, as highlighted by Andy's purchase of energy bars/ drinks. Helps if there's a pub on the route, too . . .
