On Wednesday 31st October I will kindly be a
guest at the Halloween 5 nite run
at Water Meadow, Thames Valley Park in Reading. I am looking forward to it!
It’s a 5km course in the dark, dressing up is allowed so I
may add a few little Halloween themed items to my running gear. I also have to
wear a head torch so I can see where I am going, which is wise as over the past
few weeks I have been rather clumsy.
On a run last week I manage to badly hurt my right knee by
whacking it on a gate and then later on in the run I fell over, landing on my
left knee and also getting a cut from a flint on my palm. I have to say the
bruising on my knees left me limping for quite a few days after.
I am about 900km through the 1000km now, so I am approaching
the final stages of Challenge 1000.
I have had a good think about where I have run, and used the
very handy world of Google mapping to create a Challenge 1000 map of each location that I have
run across the UK and Europe for Challenge 1000 so far.
You can tell I live in the South East as a lot of my runs
are based around that area. However I have made efforts to branch out to other
areas of the country, and over the next few months I am going to attempt to do
a little more branching out.
The season is changing, the leaves are becoming bare and the
temperature is dropping. It is definitely pretty windy at the moment too....and
rainy. Although I have managed not to get soaked. I think the wettest run I did
this year was at Rockingham in the summer! It is time however to get in some lovely autumn
runs and hopefully take some pretty photos.
If you have suggestions of any locations or runs you have
done that look particularly beautiful In Autumn please tweet me

Thank you!!!
