What a lovely morning, it felt like a real treat to be out running and it seems like the rest of running London felt the same way and chose to join me in Richmond Park.
I chose a new track in the park but as there must be about a thousand to choose from there’s really no excuse for avoiding variety. Turned out to be just about 5k. I was only supposed to run for 30 mins as I was meeting a friend at the gate but I got a bit waylaid by a herd of deer. Must have been at least 100 sitting in my path and they are quite intimidating in numbers. Ended up zigzagging my way around the woods. My once new shoes are flippin filthy – note that I am building up ammunition for yet another purchase – all this trail running is surely going to require made for the job trail running shoes, isn’t it?
After all the faffing around with my colour coded and bpm matched playlists yesterday, I actually ended up running to some Radio 4 podcasts. I was giggling away to the highlights of Wake up with Wogan and barely noticed the agony of hill climbing.
