Damp drizzling and misty at 10pm after work. Company again tonight Mr Rabbitts coming out again two nights running. Setting his garmin for 9 min mile pace again the first mile was spot on as we ran around the trading estate and along Charlton Road past Norton Hill School. Chatting away now Desmond told me how he started running in 2004 by doing the Great North Run and weighing 24 stone. We ran on along the cycle path in the dark I had my head torch on and Des recalled how he finished The Great North Run in 2 and a half hours, since then he's lost 8 stone in weight and his best time for a half marathon being 1hour 45. He hasn't stopped running since 2004 even running the London Marathon. Before we realised we'd ran up the pit path, through the housing estates and back down the Fosseway without even noticing the pace had increased to 8.44 and last mile 8.21. No ruffled feathers, Just running, relaxed and chatting with a nice steady pace. 3.43 miles in 29.38 mins.
Baby Loss Awreness Week
Tomorrow at 7pm is The Wave of Light. Everyone is invited to take part in this global event to remember all the babies that have died during pregnancy, at, during or after birth. Simply light a candle at 7pm and leave it burning for at least an hour. Wherever you do this you will be uniting with others across the world in honour of those babies who lit up our lives for such a short time. To find out more http://www.uk-sands.org #WaveofLight
