The project: A month-long stint of pounding the fields and lanes of Sussex in my hapless and ill-advised attempt to complete a quintessentially English 5k race between two local pubs. Yes, a pint of beer awaits every finisher!
Dear Reader,
Yesterday afternoon was so gloriously warm that we scooted off to the beach after work, our ready-to-heat homemade supper in a pan.
The tide was high but on its way out, so we made sure to stay close to shore. I couldn’t believe my luck: a run and a swim in one day!
Heavy drops of rain began to fall on our drive home, and until half an hour ago (I’m writing this at 9.45 Thursday morning) it was still raining.
I know that I should go out and run in the rain – heck, it’s only a few days until the race, and it might be raining then – but it was the rowing machine for me this morning, I’m afraid. 🤣
#lightweight 😉
See you tomorrow!
Love,
Rebecca

The last thing we want is you catching a cold! Enjoy the indoor activities. When I had my shower earlier, I looked at all the glorious sunshine we have today (late winter but heading for a top of 18C!!!) and sent vibes for that your way. But not too hot... hmmmm... Good luck with that. Grin. A perfect running day here. I’m off for my morning walk - 4km then a yummy cuppa at Hyacinth Bouquets, our lovely florist / coffee shop. You’ll get the joke in the name. Hugs sweetie. All the best.
As part of training for running the 2 mile, (back in the day), any inclement weather commenced prior, or during said race. So, you are on track.
