Day 349/365

My little girls class performed their nativity play this morning, she was a star. I took the opportunity to run from her school back home..... the long way. 8.38 miles off road following the footpaths and trails along Snails Bottom to Loocombe woods. As I neared the woods I could hear a shoot going on not having a red hat to wear I was a bit worried. Gun shots seemed to die down as I entered the woods and ran through I was glad I was wearing a hi viz shirt which I wouldn't normally do off road. Half way through there was no more gun shots, I startled ducks and pheasants and came across the gamekeepers truck but thankfully made it through down through Holcombe Woods and out beside Old Holcombe Church. I ran around the cemetery and up the path around the church and up to My Uncle Kens grave I wished him a Merry Christmas and ran back out again, he would have been marvelled by this challenge which will be over in16 days time. Skirted the village of Holcombe and ran around the east side of the village I had a bit of time to get some miles in so carried on to the bottom of Edford around the woods and out to Ham before coming back in towards the village and up Holcombe Hill. Very wet under foot good conditions for running not to cold or wet. 1920 miles of 2014, 94 miles required in 16 days.
