Slippery When Wet!

That refers to the canal towpath today.  My feet were sliding around all over the place when I first set off along the canal at lunch today with Kathryn but she seemed to be fine until we got onto a certain bit (which we had been forced to go onto because there was a film crew where we actually wanted go go and they wouldn't let us through) and then she found it slippery too.  I'm surprised one of us didn't slip and fall into the canal and resemble the blow up doll we saw floating face down in it today, albeit we wouldn't have been naked!

I didn't stop slipping until we got onto the bit of towpath which has now been relayed with little stones.

Despite yesterday's very hard run, I felt great today and full of energy.  Usually on my lunchtime run at some point I'll start to feel really tired and want to stop but I didn't get that today and felt fine the whole way round and was able to hold a full conversation where usually I have to shut up and let Kathryn do all the talking in the hope it might tire her out a bit so she'll run slower.

So glad I've had a decent run after a spate of bad ones.

Total distance - 5 miles
