Just 2 miles this morning as I’m eyeing up a 7ish mile route tomorrow (measured with the online equivalent of a bit of string – it may turn out to be anywhere between 6 and 9 miles…). Well that’s my proper reason, more accurately it was only 2 miles because it took quite a while to shift my lazy arse out of the door.

Spotted this morning, 2 dog walkers, 1 chap I pass most mornings (I’ve worn him down and get a smile out of him now), 1 ex-colleague and another runner with a very wobbly style. It was like a nodding dog with its head on sideways, but she was going faster than me so who am I to criticise?
