We joined the Burgess Hill Runners on Wednesday night for some track work at Lewes sports centre and my, what a track it is! Floodlit and in great condition, the slightly springy surface is a dream to run on.
From the people I met, the club has a really broad mix of members but all keen to improve their running… and their banter! It was a really fun hour and despite being newcomers, we were welcomed like good friends!
The downside? We now need to go to the Run shop and buy some new winter kit… we were really lucky as although dark, it was quite mild, but I think that the warmer weather has now been washed and folded up into a drawer so that it doesn’t get dirty until the Spring needs it! I definitely need one of those rain jackety things (damp is okay, cold is okay, cold and damp… ugh!) and both my pairs of Saucony’s are showing signs of distress… even the newer pair has no splodge left after the Ligurian descents!
Okay… so I just looked out the window to see a gorgeous day sitting in my garden, but you know what I mean! Soon it will be winter drawers on, mark my words! ‘Til then… I must go and see if it really is warm out there!
