It felt like it should be a race day today. We had a typical pre-race meal last night (risotto), and set the alarm early. However today was my wife’s turn to race. She and some friends from ‘Sarah’s Runners’ had entered the South Downs Marathon Relay. I’m still trying to get used to the fact that my wife is now a runner, and entering races. For years I was the only runner in the family, and all the running shoes in the hall cupboard were mine.
My job today is to stay at home and entertain the children while my wife runs. However I did manage to find an hour to run while the children were at activity clubs, so managed just under 8 miles on the road. Tomorrow I’ll have much more time, and should manage a good 2hrs off road.
