Distance: 2.9 miles
Time: 30 mins
Comments: A nice short Saturday run with G around Battersea park. There is nothing better to make yourself feel more righteous than getting up early on a weekend and going for a run. It feels as though there is a bond on smugness among the other keep fitters as we pass each other panting & sweating

Back in Battersea
Route: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2217235
Distance: 3.5 miles
Time: 35 mins
Comments: Back running in Battersea Park, no bad thing, but it is not the same as running around the Northumbrian coast or body boarding in the North Sea
The really good thing about it was that the run went well, even if it is still to bloody hot and humid down here

Last Dip
Last day before we head off down to Doncaster for the welcome Keat bash and again the weather is terrible
We held out all day for the rain to stop & after eating all day, it did at 4:30ish.
Body boards in the back of Nick's 4x4, Andrea, G & I are going to Bamburgh beach in the mist and cold again. Surf looked great, however it was full of jelly fish. We go to Beadnell Bay, no surf, but no Jelly fish. We swim again for about 35 minutes - freezing but again revived
I am really going to miss the Sea back in London

Snorkeling
Chris the fish does more than run these days. Body boarding, swimming & now snorkeling.
It wasn't exactly Thailand at Beadnell Bay, but I did see a pipe fish being eaten by a brown crab which was quite exciting.
40 mins in the water and I was ready to die of the cold - chips on the way home from Lewis's, just the job.
All this exercise and the waistline is still going the wrong way!!

No Run
No run today, the weather has been miserable.
However after the weekend at Hale Hill and a long trip back on the train to Berwick with Brett on Sunday many cobwebs needed blowing away.
G & I went body boarding in the mist and rain below Bamburgh Castle. Another hour well spent. Very cold but feeling better we retreated back to the van.

Finished Strong
Route: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2216216
Distance: 6.9 miles
Time: 1hr 10mins
Comments: After yesterdays slightly tame and feeling fat effort today was brilliant. After a day in the Toon and a hearty lunch in Fenwicks Cafe 21 with G & Parents I decided I had to run it off.
I felt terrible for most of the run except the last 25 minutes. Great route and a great run.

Feeling the Holiday Fat
Route: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2216158
Distance: 2.3 miles
Time: 35 mins
Comments: Very slow indeed. Went with G on a morning run. Only a couple of days in to the holiday and there has been far too much enjoying ourselves already.
Still, we both feel a little better for going out. I put in a couple of sprinting loops to get the heart rate and distance up a little.

Humid!!
Route: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2146595
Distance: 3.8 miles
Time: 39 mins
Comments: No sun at all, but still about 24c. Very Humid and sticky.
There was no behaving myself at the weekend, 7 o'clock on Sunday morning. Victoria Lockie & myself were chatting (and drinking) until dawn in Sevenoaks.
All things considered the run went well and sweated away the cob webs quite nicely!!
