What a week and a half I have had since my previous post. I dont know where to begin. Theres probably too much for one post so here's a list of recent goings on
Thursday - Rydal Round Fell race (part of Ambleside Sports) - Finished 15th in the biggest field the race has known - 5 mins or more inside my course PB. I think they only let me lead 'cos I knew the way from the field through Rydal Hall to the fell. Penrith Stu also racing in this one. He finished nearer to me after 90 minutes of racing than he did after 36 the other week on roads. Born to race the fells that lad was.
Friday - Offroad run in the rain with my pal Gary who was up from Yorkshire. Somehow we managed to get lost only one mile from the city - by the time we retraced through mud and shoulder high weeds we were soaked through and cut to ribbons from the brambles. Great Fun
Saturday - Married the love of my life, Janet. Fantastic day with so many friends
The view of reception was stunning |
The hotel was out of this world - seriously. Look at the view from our private balcony
Monday - Went on a shopping spending spree then to theatre in Cardiff Bay
Tuesday - Decent one hour run then drove to Brighton
Wednesday - Staying in The Grand where we paid £25 per night. TO PARK THE CAR!!!!!
Spent perhaps the best hours of the holiday loading tuppences into slot machines in the arcade on the East Pier. Cheap honest fun that took us back to childhood.
Thursday - Ocean front run then drove up to Derbyshire
Friday - With little to do we watched daytime TV until one in the afternoon then sauntered round Derby before going to one of those Japanese restaurants where they entertain you by cooking (and juggling) your food right in front of you
Saturday - (Today) Back home - Steady 7 mile run over familiar ground to test my dodgy leg (more on dodgy leg later)
Congratulations Steve & Janet! Lovely wedding pic and sounds like you had a great honeymoon with enough room for running.
