Hills, Thrills and Chocolate :)

Another sunny day in Deva as we headed over the bridge to the Racecourse. No-one there at first, but great to see 'The Seal' rock up in his co-ordinated gear, complete with trainers. Over his injury now, he was ready to give CRR another shot. Second in line was the imposing outline and tremendous grin of 'SB' (nickname to follow, this will take some thinking). He shook my hand, with confidence and chocolate !? and was a definate shot in the arm to the group. How fickle do I sound, being bribed by sat fat. Another new lady 'M' arrived today, who had heard tell of our exploits from Up and Running , so that was really good news. Finally, last but definately not least was my 'second in command' regular and reliable as. I was very pleased to see her, as it had been a while, what with the bad weather 'n' all. Good to see she hadnt lost any of her form or razor wit.

A slow jog into town followed by a trot into Grosvenor Park (narrowly avoided being knocked over before we got there). Then a quick walk/jog/run interval session ,as I got into full sergeant major routine trying to organise everyone. Lets just say SB came into his own, he is a lethal combination with SIC, but I enjoy being part of people having fun. Very wicked and very funny. Anyway, hills! a few hill repeaters up and down Castle Drive. Managing to avoid knocking dogs and pensioners over, we put in a good slog. Then a quick form drill session on the car park, narrowly avoiding the bacon butties in the cafe. And No ! SIC you definately did not look like a knob from where I was standing lol. Cool down by the roodee and back to the racecourse. By SB's watch it was 2.47 miles for all you distance fans, but I saw sweat and smiles people, so that isnt a bad combination.

M and The Seal were proper leaping up the hills. Whilst SB, SIC and I were chuckling, running and werent far behind you. Look out next week for more of the same :)
