Running Report 17th & 18th Jan

Got to running on Monday evening and it wasn't raining - but the heavens opened as soon as we started, and then stopped pretty much as we stopped - how unfair is that? All other 3 sessions were dry. We've been tackling hills with the Improvers - the thing to remember is that you need to concentrate running downhill as that's where problems can happen.

Good luck to all of you doing the Romsey 5 miler on Sunday - I am still planning to be there!

On our global challenge, nous sommes en France. We've run through the tunnel, past Calais & are now close to Dunkirk enjoying some smelly cheese and a glass of wine. Or calvados perhaps. So we'll fuel up with a metaphorical croissant on Monday as we head for the Belgian border!
