Jogging ...

I guess the secret of running a blog, is updating it ... I will get better at this though!!

I went for a run this morning. I'm really starting to enjoy jogging. I did 11.5 miles this morning - this is all part of building up to the Nottingham Half Marathon in September. Although, I've only got 1.5 miles to go now ... I'm not too worried about getting round.

I did a lovely route this morning - I went up the canal to Zouch, and then came back up through Hathern along the A6. Then, I ran through the town centre (you can do that at 9.30 on a Sunday morning) ... I got accosted by old ladies on two occasions though - first to give directions to a newsagents and second to tell someone the time.

Then I carried on along the A6 towards Quorn and ran round Charnwood Water before coming back along the canal. REALLY nice. I also amused myself, imagining that I was on a hidden camera show ... I find that you have to do that when you're running more than about 5 miles or you'd go mad. I also have my tunes on ... I have a jogging playlist on my ipod. It's got all my favourite music on it, and stuff that really keeps me going. One of the best things to run to is this bit of Soundtrack from Dr Who (sad I know ... it's when the violins come in ...)



This was my route by the way: http://gb.mapometer.com/en/running/route_134571.html
