I'm back running again. Unfortunately I only ran once the week after Bolivia. If you recall the psychological toll of running for 50 minutes wondering if I was going to get mugged got a bit much for me.
On Monday, after driving back from my parents in Bournemouth and having driven 450 miles in 2-3 days I was itching to get out there. Despite getting back to London at 7:30 p.m. we were driving close to Richmond Park. Rather than drive by this beautiful park, David and I pulled over and I put on my running gear in the car and ran for an hour. I ran along the lakes, saw swans, squirrels and even deers. (David did some work on a park bench!)
Then tonight I gave up the chance to go with the office to the pub and after a brief hair appointment (you've got to look beautiful when you run!!!) I ran along the Thames tow path. Its my usual morning 'scary mugging' route, but at 8 p.m. at night its remarkably bright and there are many more runners out.
Jill - I might make the San Francisco July marathon yet!
keep on runnin'
