Last run in Derbyshire

It was pointed out to me at the weekend by my Reading running partner that I’m doing the St Albans Half Marathon in two weeks time. Aaah. I knew I’d signed up to it, but what with moving to London, starting a new job and all that, I thought it was aaages away. So, squeezed between scooping my keys and van up and driving to Derby, and cleaning my flat and packing the rest of my stuff, I managed my last run in Derbyshire.
I have to say I’m going to miss the fields and fresh-air running. The route was a variation of my usual starting in Mickleover and heading across to Radbourne, clocking up 8.5 miles and not feeling too bad for it, despite the lack of running and exercise since I came back from Slovakia. My weight has crept back up to over 13 stone (too much sausage, pizza and beer, despite the cycling), so I have to do something about it.
Now that I’m in my new flat in West Hampstead, I hope to do some of those running communtes as promoted by Cathy on Jog Blog. There may not be so many sheeps, cows, goats and owls to look at, but it should be enough to get me prepped for my next round of Septathlon events.
