I'm having an easy week this week so that I can go into the Hobble on Saturday all refreshed. That's the plan anyway. I must say, I'm a little nervous!
Today, I just ran with Ruby up to Two Lads and the Pike.
Coming down off Two Lads, Ruby nearly sent me flying on the steep bit behind the kennels, when she stopped dead in front of me. If I had tumbled over her, it wouldn't have been all bad, as Dr Hamer then appeared around the corner so he would have been able to fix me. Luckily, I didn't need any fixing but I did stand and have a natter for a while and it seems that it is Ian who is in the wars, having recently dislocated his shoulder and torn a calf muscle. That has put paid to his London Marathon and Ironman this year. Must be tough having to drop out, especially given the expense of the Ironman.
After leaving Ian, I ran along George's Lane and, as I turned the corner before the bottom of the Pike, Nick Leigh was coming the other way with his dog, which Ruby ran off over to. Luckily she didn't bite him (her?). Usually when I go out at this time of a morning (6.30) I don't see a single other person but it was quite busy up there this morning.
We then climbed up the Pike and ran back down to the Pigeon Tower, then looped through the terraced gardens, back along George's Lane and home through Wilderswood.
Total distance - 5.5 miles
