6 weeks to go!

Having spent part of the weekend walking and running the Watlington 10k course i can confirm it's looking really magical at this time of year. Starting with the tree fringed Ridgeway section along towards the M40 you can really see the season changing as green is replaced by brown, copper and gold. Heading up the first big climb, forcing the fresh cold air through your lungs you can glance back at the Oxfordshire plain as you pause at the top gate, your aching legs welcoming the short break. Then into the steep wooded section and finally out onto the road and across the big field to start your swooping descent down Shirburn Hill with the best view in the South spread out in front of you. Well, if you've done the race you know all this so not get out next weekend and have a practice run. There's only 6 weekends left to train! See you on the 4th.

Knackered after Henley

Does anyone have a cure for extremely traumatised legs?
The Henley half was about the limit of my running capability, but you have to give it a go don't you.
Thanks go to Tim for pacing me through a decent first half and for Bob for dragging me across the line.
The bit in the middle was down to me and predictably that's where i lost time!
Speaking of which, it's time to sign up for our Winter run on Dec 4th, click on this link for a form and send it in with a cheque or just post on this blog to let us know you'll be taking part.
