My wife agrees I can go for a quick half hour run ahead of our delayed second Christmas. I decide that seeing as I am getting back on it why not do the Water Fountain to Water Fountain run on Hayes Common. This is a 5km run that I have been doing for as long as I have been running.
I set off and it is not too horrible. I get to the far point and I don't want to stop as I'm enjoying this. I risk the wrath of my wife and keep on running up towards Wilberforce. I run down past the Wilberforce Oak. If I keep going then I am going to go down a steep, steep hill, which will be a struggle to run back up. So I keep going,
I reach the bottom of the hill and the half hour ticks up. I turn and head back. I run up the hill and back. As per tradition I touch the two water fountains.
I get back to the car on an almost perfectly on an hour. When I get home Mrs Squirrel is a little stressed, but I am buzzing from my run and get us back on track.
I've run twice the distance I was planning and loved it. Maybe my fitness has not been as damaged as I thought.
9km 60mins
