Sunday Run 4 June 2006

Hooray for the Bewl Two!
Chris and I survived the gruelling heat today and ran the exceptionally beautiful 15 miles around the Bewl reservoir. Believe me there's hot and then there's hotter, this was hottest (29C). Now I have always preferred wet and windy and this run only confirmed my preference. Chris told me there were no hills - liar. To be fair compared to what we are all used to, the hills are minor, they just seemed steeper, longer and more punishing today. I walked a bit. The organisation was excellent, the cakes at the end particularly scrummy. We met some old friends including the Irish lad from our hotel in Paris - from the marathon this April. He and his wife with baby where marshalls.
We ran together for a couple of miles and then Chris vaulting a fence was off finishing a good 10 mins before me (around the 2:15 mark) but hey Chris you owe me that and more in years.
A good day by all accounts and a medal to boot.

Ash now the footies over perhaps you'll get your r's back into gear!

cheers rog
