After a miserable day of rain I was just hoping please stay dry for me tonight and luckily there was no rain for us. Tonight was a 5 miler with Dave and Tim. A new route, started at ours and headed up Blackbull Road which was a nice long hill and then headed into Cheriton and back.

Sunday - 10 miles
What a fresh morning but sunny. Tim and I decided to run 10 miles and along the way to catch the Santa Fun run. We ran along the Leas hoping to catch the runners on Dixwell Road but we realised we got the start time wrong so we ended up running back down the Leas where we saw Sue and Kim. We stopped to see the runners and then we continued our run up the Leas again and into Sandgate and turned around close to the Imperial and then back up the zig zag path. I did find it tough today running into the wind and I wasn't totally on form as I wasn't too well yesterday. On the way back I was very much looking forward to having water at the water fountain but no there was no water. When we got onto the Leas we were hoping that there would be some water left over from the Santa Fun run which we could pinch and yes we saw some bottles and Tim kindly asked if we could have some. We were in luck and gulped down that much needed water.
