See how many things you can spot in a week's running. This week:
1. A man emerging from a bush wearing wellington boots and carrying a sickle. What's worse is he spoke to me. Scary.
2. A bloke on a bicycle riding very slowly whilst reading a newspaper. Next to him is a rather pissed off looking dog carrying a ball.
3. A woman walking backwards massaging her head.
4. Dog turds. (This one's easy if you run on the grass like me - just look at the underside of your trainers)
Having found my pedometer I can now report the interesting fact that my run is 4387 paces long. But I don't know what the average length of my stride is. However, the interestingly named Wendy Bumgardner (I kid you not) knows. If I estimate 48 inches that means I am doing just better than 10 minute miles which feels right so I am running about 3.3 miles.
Good so far, but I have just looked at a training schedule for running a half marathon and I don't even qualify for their beginner section :-(. I think it's time to measure my running stride more accurately.
