Am I Invisible?

I set off from home today with a view to meeting the guys at the barn at 8am.  As I was waiting to pull out of Fearnhead Road, Albert passed by in his van.  I waved away at him but he didn't see me. 


I pulled out and followed him into Rivington.  We passed a Derek Kay who waved at Albert but when I waved at him he didn't see me. 


Albert parked up on the road and I passed by, waving again, but still he didn't see me.  I then drove past John and, you guessed it, he didn't see me!  Am I invisible this morning?


Eventually, John arrived back at the car park after having a little warm up run and thankfully, he did see me then.  We waited around a bit to see if any others would turn up but nobody did so we set off on our own. 


We ran along to White Coppice and then continued on to Brinscall, doing a few loops here and there before getting back to White Coppice and retracing our steps back to Rivington.  As we were going along Anglezarke, we passed all the runners in the Rivington 10mile Trail Race coming the other way.  Chris Farrell was at the front with Nick Leigh not far behind.  We cheered everyone on as they passed and it was good to see a fair few Horwich vests.


Once back in Rivington, John wanted to go a bit further so we ran up Sheephouse Lane and then up to the top barn.  We then ran along to the school and out onto the road and headed down to Liverpool Castle before following the reservoir back to the barn. 


As I was leaving the barn, I saw Mark Sammon and waved frantically at him but, guess what?  He didn't see me!




Total distance - 15.6 miles
