Trina and I have set up a Wednesday jogging date. As we are running the Race for Life in a few weeks with Helena, we really need to get our jogging up to standard.
As grey clouds loomed tonight we parked the car by the canal and set off. Trina was amazed at how far I was prepared to jog before needing the walking rests that we have. So between us, we picked targets in the distance to run to, pushing each other when we were lagging and we think we probably jogged over half of the 3 miles we did tonight. We jogged for longer distances and jogged back, as well as to the bridge.
There was not as many people out tonight - and to Trina and my disappointment the hot man wasn't jogging tonight. I think this was the only reason Trina had agreed to come jogging tonight. The weather only got worse, with spitting rain for most of our jog. We did pass some fishermen - hardy people I think, and our new fan club - some strange men over the other side of the canal. It keeps us going though and makes us laugh, so it can't be bad!
We did see a beautiful swan on it's nest, right by the canal towpath. Amazing! Some pictures here...not the best set as the camera struggled in the rain, but still worth a look.
Off jogging with Helena again tomorrow...... hope my feet will toughen up soon as these blisters are not fun!
Love Iona x
