Hey, Angela - excellent running. I haven't tried the Capital Ring, but I've run parts of the London Loop whilst working in Epsom. This was the Hogsmill River section. And what's that? 18 miles? Might you be awaiting for a London Marathon magazine in the post, maybe? If so, then fingers crossed. After 18, then 26 is a doddle.

18.. MILES!!

Blinkin well done girl! Amazing what you can do with jelly babies… I have to say you have articulated the very reason why I don’t try them anymore.. that one nasty one ALWAYS does the nasty on me!

Holy cow! You’re really getting to be quite the serious runner. I truly am impressed, and LOVED the descriptions as always, especially the bit about the jelly beans and “cheerleaders” in various states of undress. Great run! What HAPPENED to you? Maybe we should all break our backs playing Wii. It seems to have given you the strength of 10 men.

Only 4 days left to run to the shops to get in the kit for the next big race – the Brompton Bike Fashion challenge – will you get jelly beans to match that promised socks and tie combo?

If you take jelly beans along with you on runs, you should check out sport beans by jelly belly, they usually come in one flavor packs and I haven’t had any bad experiences with them.

Flippin’ ‘eck, well done! That sounds like a really fantastic approach. Damn those bikes on towpaths, I often have to hold my breath and hope for the best as they whiz past like they own the blimmin’ path. Oh, and the offending Jelly Belly flavour is shampoo.

Hi,
Your blog seems great. I have a food business in East Yorks that makes healthy snacks, and am interested in new products aimed at the sports market. Have you blogged about nutrition before a run, or long term? And what foods/products would you like to see made that you can’t get now?
Any reply, direct or blogged would be great. And will send over some samples in return.
Thank you,
Ed
