I didn't do it! I'd just finished 3km warm-up when Phil, my friendly groundsman at Chev, where I intended to run, told me he'd mowed the cross country course in preparation for All Schools CC race tomorrow. Out the window went the tempo run and I decided to do 5km of the CC course instead!
It was tough : muddy in parts, hills I had to walk up, tree roots everywhere and deep hoof-prints left by cattle to make it just a little more difficult to manoeuvre safely, but so much more enjoyable than doing 5km round and round in the 200m lane. Phil was still at work when I raced down the finishing chute with arms in the air and shouting, "I won! I won!" A good laugh put a nice finish to the session!

Great idea Phil! I think you should go down tomorrow and take a look. Perhaps put in a late entry - you'd probably clean up a few of those young'uns.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Ewen! Though I don't think I'd be the only one walking the hills!
