Day 312/365

Dark and late on a Saturday evening, but the opportunity to break a running record held by myself. The record for continuously running up and down Holcombe Hill from The Duke of Cumberland at the bottom to Holcombe Cross Rds at the top along Stratton Rd and around Kingsway and back down stands at 4 repetitions. A chilly evening not raining but damp underfoot, I set out intending to just run the minimum and having just had my tea pace was a bit off to start, however once I got going the record looked like it could topple. Spurned on by fireworks going off all around lighting up the night sky and the encouragement from Kenny Lydford 'cmon you lazy buggar' managed 5 repitions of the hill 7.2 miles in 1 hour 12 minutes. A new international running record.
