LE JOG

[Nigel]

Thursday 07.11.2010 -- very snowy. Headed east along the seafront at Penzance, through the eponymous Long Rock and on to Marazion for a spectacular view of St Michael's Mount. 5.9 miles.

Saturday 09.11.2010 -- the snow was lying deep and crisp and even. A good day for a tough run. Heading east into a bitterly cold wind to view the seafront at the pretty harbour of Porthleven. Had to take a short defrosting break in the cafe for a hot coffee, and managed to find a small box of fig rolls to sustain me on the uphill slog back north out of the village. Overnight in Helston -- home of the famous Floral Dance for those who remember their Cornish brass band hits of the 70s. 8.92 miles

Sunday 10.11.2010 -- legs feeling pretty crocked today. Snow started to melt briefly and after shovelling snow all morning from the school playground there wasn't much motivation left. Had hoped to make it to Falmouth for an overnight at the Green Bank Hotel, but finally decided to pitch my bivvy by the roadside still a couple of miles short of the town. Pubs within happy walking distance from here, but no running since. I'll hope to pick it up later in the week. 6.48 miles.

Distance run so far: 34.03 miles.
