to titchmarsh and back.....very tough

What can i say, titchmarsh is a sleepy northants town, but beneath the cute exteria lies a mean and heartless 10k route ...all hills and wind, mostly together !

The equivilant of Friskney in terms of runners, not very many and all bloody fit....not quite sure about time (dont actually think it was too bad) but couldnt wear my timing maching as decided to run in shorts and realise the elastic was a bit suspect. Have bought shoes, socks and last week treated myself to new knee bandages (i know how to live) but think i will have to buy some proper shorts...shorts, not lycra clinging things as i will return to my sheffield routes if i wear them ( see earlier blog) have been running in tracky bottoms so far so not been an issue but as weather warms up think i will need them. Mind you the howling gales of northants meant i didnt really need them today

good training run for the leeds half though, as i know that has hills, its just the combination. Lovely people on the run though , sometimes wish i had people i know at the end just to say hi ....
Hubbie coming to leeds half which will be good

bit dissapointed with sponsership...reticent to nag people but will do as i come towards the end...good feeling to have got half way, only got the leeds half this month (oh yeh, and the running leg of triathlon i said i would do with a mate) and then 2 in june so lots easier and wondering if i could have done it in 4 months...even if my body held out, not sure i could have found enough races in the north

if i find the titchmarsh results will do a quick post
