It started well with an early morning run - I decided to abandon my FLM up the road and back route - it's too mindblowingly boring - the same undulations every time aaaagh.
so turn the other direction and down to the river - through the park and back along the other side
of course DOWN to the river means it is seriously UP coming back
but the route is 4 miles with the potential for a flattish 2 mile loop in the park
so I shall be back for that later in the week
as for today it went like this :
back home, stretch and shower then its off to Alton Towers with the two teenbeanzes and a couple of Swedish scouts who are staying for a few days
I had not been before and did not know what to expect
fond thoughts of wandering through the picturesque gardens and sipping cups of tea whilst the lads tried out the rides were dashed
as they did not know what to expect either, I spent a lot of time waiting for them to go on rides and then walking across the site to the next ride
all very tiring
back home, cook a meal and then off for a walk in the park - down to the river along this morning's route, but just a couple of miles this time
legs are beginning to request some respite!
time for upper body at the gym tomorrow I think
