Bit of a belated post.
My first constitutional since I've been back.
Its a 40 min route close to where I live, in a lovely part of Brighton - if it weren't for all the bloody traffic. Close to Withdean Stadium - the home of our local football team - up the seagulls. Although they are hopefully guaranteed survival in League 1 this season, their form of late has been woeful.
Anyway I digress, I run up by the side of this arena - Tongdean Lane, Valley Drive - a nice steady climb to get me settled and into a comfy pace. Grateful for my MP3 player to set the tone - an eclectic mixture that I'd taken on holiday.
Track du jour - corny as it sounds, Keep on running, Spencer Davis group - passers by must have thought I was grinning like a loon when this came on.
Down Woodland drive - a lovely 2k descent to Hove Park, alongside the park 'til Old Shoreham road, steady climb up the Upper drive, down Millers road, South road, back along London road to home.
That blew the cobwebs away.
An all pavement affair - I do need to get down to Preston Park again - but I do dislike running round and round a place. I should treat it as a chance to do some mile speed training, I guess.
Had a lovely long stretch outside - lovely bright evening, best time of year to run.
We should all train for Autumn marathons in my opinion.
Friday is circuits night. Chance to push some weights - my ideal cross training
regime.
