Day 60

Thursday 13th September

 

Another 5 Mile run and Kath is on night shift and Sam is still on holiday but luckily Charlotte offered for me to run with her group and make up the distance to 5 miles.We all set of together and I learnt something new. I didn't know that the path opposite the Trent Club leads down to the canal path so there is no need to start off up bank to get to the canal, as I thought.

 

Soon the group split into two halves and I ran with Charlotte in the first group.  Helen was in charge of the route so it was very nice to just run on a mystery tour and not having to concentrate on where we were going or whether we were going to get lost. We continued on the canal path until we reached Cromer Road where we ran a loop and then back again whilst we were waiting for the other half of the group to catch us up.

 

Then we continued down to Leek Road and along there back to Birches Head Lane.  This is where the rest of the group decided to finish after 3 miles so Charlotte and I went back to the canal and ran to Millrise road and back.  This second part of the run seemed faster than the first and very enjoyable.  It was nice to finally see Charlotte running so well again after her injury in June.  We sprinted the last bit back to base and that felt exhilarating.  Looking forward to doing that again some time. :-)
