This was a good run for a number of reasons. I ran with Tom for some of it and we talked about a number of different things, before I ran on ahead and started chatting with James, who gave me lots of hints and tips for running marathons. This has made me feel a bit more confident about the idea of running one at some point in the future (having not got into the ballot for the London Marathon this year).
During the run I got that feeling I get sometimes, of all my cares and concerns falling away, of feeling well and truly alive, the energy flowing through my body. Sometimes when I run I feel as though I can just keep going forever, and today was one of those days. I only did one lap of the park in the end, but I felt energised and refreshed afterwards. I enjoyed talking to three newbies (Nick, Nick and possibly another James) along with José and Blake at brunch, before heading for coffee afterwards.
The Royal Parks is next Sunday, I will need to check what I need to do and where I need to be. I have almost reached my fundraising target too. Very exciting!
