As I needed to pop down to my allotment to water the tomatoe plants etc in the greenhouse I decided to combine the plot 69 visit with a run. Actually I could do with multi-tasking more often as I never seem to have enough time to fit things in even though I run our search marketing business from home and have no commute time!
Ran down to the plot. Using my navman for the first time in ages I now know that door to door it’s 1km (well about 10 metres shy - so we’ll call it 1km). Did that in 4.37. Watered the plants and then headed off to Beach Road. You lose a bit of time crossing the railway line but no matter, this’ll never be a circuit for speed running. Up Market Street, down Stanley Road to Beach Road, and then back home as usual.
Going awful. Felt like a lump of lard! Might be getting a cold so I’ll blame that. Grotty weather too - back to two tops and long pants. Resultant ave speed seems high to me. I did pause the watch whilst on the plot though not the navman - but I hardly walked any distance at all. Perhaps the wind down on the prom blew me home? And as I type this not only is it windy it’s pouring down too. Ah! it’s a Bank Holiday.
