213/365 The start of our holiday 5K by Big Kev

213/365 The start of our holiday 5K by Big Kev

The start to our holiday begins today with a whole day away from the office before we travel tomorrow. The packing is almost complete and now its more about the paperwork based organisation for the dive students, than trying to find some space in a suitcase for another pair of shoes. That to come later as I woke when ready this morning which is always a pleasure on a week day and then headed out into Leigh Woods. I was never going to break any records this morning and the effect of last nights run and Mr Thatchers intervention before bed put pay to that. It was amazingly warm already this morning and there is only one word to describe my condition after the run and that is, wet! Even my eyeballs were sweating this morning and the shower preceding the run was great, but I have a sneaky feeling it not going to be the last shower of the day.

We have lunch organised with Katie today as she is on her last shift at the pub before holiday and then we have Kerry coming in for some PC help, so all in all another busy day.

Bring on the flight tomorrow!

p.s. I will endeavour to blog/facebook everyday whilst away, but I can't guarantee the internet coverage, so it may be a bulk update when we are back.

212/365 A full 6 miles with GWR by Big Kev

212/365 A full 6 miles with GWR by Big Kev

Tonight was my longest outing for 2 weeks and I was still aware of not over doing it, especially with the start of my holiday tomorrow. The 6 mile route that GWR offer up is one that still requires respect as even though it wouldn't be regarded as hilly it is definitely undulating. It was great to catch up with friends and find out what they have been up to on the running front and otherwise. The number of runners was a little thin on the ground, but that is to be expected considering the time of year and the holiday season.

It was great to hear of a few new PB's well done Marcus and that the ladies team seem to have a new member for the cross country team (sorry Sally, you did say you wanted a goal). I wish I could have stayed but the working day had been a long one and I also needed to continue with the packing. However on my way home I saw a very familiar face hobbling along. After a quick U turn I picked Andy up, as he had aggravated his calf injury and was going to take an age to get back to the club without some assistance.

So that's another good deed for the day done, tick!
