'The Street'

There’s nothing worse than your first day back at work after a holiday although, luckily for me, I managed to wangle working from home today so that I could trawl through the multitude of e-mails I have been sent in my absence, most of which just announce the arrival of the sandwich lady or enquire after a missing mug. 

After a couple of weeks off, I headed along to Sportess PT in Chorley for an overdue strength and conditioning workout, although I did make up my own workouts a few days on holiday around the pool, using 2.5 litre bottles of water as hand weights.

On my way to the gym, I stopped on Horrobin Lane and decided to go for a little run along The Street.  I had hoped to do a short loop, going up the ‘cascade’ and then down to the bowling club but it was still dark and I had no head torch so decided to stay on the smooth surface of The Street and just do an out and back. 

I felt like I was running quite fast, even though I was comfortable and was rather pleased with myself until I finished and saw that I had only been nine minute miling!  No wonder I felt comfortable!

Total distance – 2 miles
