The first part of this evenings run was to work out a route from home for Heidi my oldest to run with me who is keen to start running, after her success in the Run for Life. Worked out a mile loop from home which we can extend as she gets better and I can continue on with my run. Headed to the woods through Edford and Harridge woods, startled a group of three roe deer and a solitary one a bit later on. Running through Harridge Woods with my headtorch on you tend to concentrate on the ground just in front of you watching for roots and any other obstacles, when what did I almost trip over the biggest badger ever. I dont know who was most shocked but badger shot off through the undergrowth with immense speed, I didn't reslise they could run so fast. Trying to increase the mileage as its only 5 weeks to my planned 29 mile run from Uphill to Wells, managed 7 miles in 1hour 15 minutes.
