Thieves Wood
My bike is in for a service. After Saturday she kinda needed to go for one - whether it means new wheels or tyres or even a saddle, my dearest bike needs a bit of care and attention that I am not capable of giving her.
I went for a run yesterday afternoon. It was just a short run, about 43 minutes, but I had some fun. It was dark and my flashing armband were attached to my left arm as I ran towards Hucknall. There's a section where I run called 'Thieves Woods' that used to harbour thieves and murderers in the dark ages (or so I'm led to believe by some friends) and we were going up along the side of it. It got a bit hot in my long sleeve top and I decided to take the long sleeve top off and carry on in my sleeveless top. About 300m later I realised something was missing, and we were halfway up the hill next to Thieves Woods. I turned around to see if I could find my flashing armband and in the distance there it was.
At this stage it seemed like a good idea to turn around, so we did, picked up the red lights as we ran towards home and finished our run.
Afterwards I lay on the couch for ages, watching CSI : Crime Scene Investigation and wondering what I'm going to do tonight. Considering that it is technically a biking night, but my bike is on holiday, and the pool is closed, I'm going to guess that going for another run doesn't seem like such a bad idea. I realised this morning that I have no way of getting hold of my coach for our weekly chat tonight - seeing as he is in South Africa to take part in Ironman South Africa on Sunday and the phone number that I have for him is only half the number I need.
Yes, a run tonight makes sense...
