For better or for worse we're going!


We ran five miles yesterday. This only leaves just over four on Friday to achieve twenty five for the week. We set off on the road through a housing estate. Buildings give some protection from the wind and the smooth surface of the road helps to loosen stiff joints and muscles. A mile and a half into the run we turned left down the aptly named Canal Lane. From the lane we could see the M40 motorway in the distance. Cars and lorries en route from London to Birmingham and vice versa. At the bottom of a steep field we joined the tow path beside the Oxford Canal. A flat but slightly muddy one mile later we were in town. A steep hill reduced me to walking before the top but a fairly brisk run home from there made up for it. A white overnight frost and bright sunshine this morning means we are going to run today as the weather forecast for tomorrow is heavy rain. I just hope the joints will stand it.
Went out yesterday and bought a new lawn mower, the old one which had given good service died. The grass is growing, a sure sign that spring is on the way.
When we get back from our run I will sit and write more of my book. I have gathered my thoughts and can see where the next part of the story is going. At the moment I am reading "The secret life of Bletchley Park", it is a bit hard going but very informative and I will see it through. Has anyone else read it? If so I would be pleased if you would let me know what you thought of it.
