I’m approaching marathon training with all new vigour this week. After a slow and somewhat glum start to the program, which saw me achieving only 20km of a 20 mile weekly target, I have decided to show a little more gumption this week and commit.
Today was scheduled for my mid-week longish run which means a resurrection of the running commute. I wasted a good portion of the day playing with google maps, trying to determine the best tube station to start my run from. Shame I didn’t spend more time examining the details of the route.
It didn’t seem that tricky, just Tooting Bec to X marks the spot but less than a mile from home I managed to get myself horrendously lost, turning right when I should turn left and then again. Looking at the map it seems like such a sharp bend that I can’t understand why I didn’t notice that I’d just doubled back on myself and come back down a parallel street.

Getting lost isnt such a bad thing…kind of forces you to run a bit further!
this made me laugh, as I get lost ALL. THE. TIME.
Hi Danae, that could prove to be quite a handicap given the amount of travelling you appear to do.
That’d make the beer back at home taste even better. I hope you are still enjoying your run commute on occasions
