As I sit here I have a palpable sense of deja vu… it’s been three weeks since my last run and I’m not entirely sure where the time has gone. Moving on quickly, at least I managed to get out for a run today, even managing to rub shoulders with some of the runners on the Brighton Marathon course… albeit the back markers. This is actually quite appropriate since, with my current form, it is where I would have been if I had actually entered the race!
I started from my folks’ place and ran the lovely 6 mile loop that makes up a lot of my running lately. I start by running down the ridge from Woodingdean to Ovingdean, dropping down to the valley floor and then taking the steps down to the Undercliff Walk at Ovingdean Gap. I then ran along to Rottingdean and worked my way back up to Ovingdean via the windmill and then on back up the ridge path.
I chose an easy pace, due to the lack of exercise lately, and just pottered along, stopping occasionally to take photos:
I completed the run in 1:03, though Strava helpfully removed the photo stops and called it just under 58 minutes. You can see the route here:https://www.strava.com/activities/284076530
In other news, I am now the proud owner of a rather unusual custom shop J185 Gibson. Unfortunately, whilst Kim couldn’t hear the myriad bloops that I used to make playing the Studio without an amp, now she can hear every blemish… and probably needs ear muffs! This purchase is part of an ongoing experiment into learning & development that I started in 2010… she’s showed incredible patience with the exercise to date and my hope is that I’ll eventually manage to string some less jarring notes together!
The garden project paused whilst I did some spring-cleaning last weekend… there are no obvious changes, other than the table making it out of its winter hideout, but Kim’s car was loaded to the gunnels with garden waste when I had finished.
I also finished the work I was doing at WorldRemit and it has to be said that I REALLY miss the people 🙁 However, I swapped my London desk for one with this view… ho hum!
