OK, so no blog yesterday…
Why? Well I decided to walk to work, for the first time since I moved to my new area, so instead of being able to write on the bus, I was stomping through Hyde Park.
It's just under 5 miles, but doesn't seem that far, with lots of interesting things to look at, people to watch and fresh-ish air to inhale, so I think I'll start doing it regularly.
Recently, both GBman and Tigger have been trying to convince me to take up running. So maybe eventually, if I get give in and give it a go, I can run to work...
Ha!
I'm still traumatised by memories of running at school. While I excelled at swimming, hockey and rounders, running just wasn't on my radar. I didn't get it! In fact, so slow was I, that a teacher, called Hairy Chap, used to give me a piggy back around the course so that he wasn't home late for dinner with his wife.
Seeing how much Tigger loves it though, has inspired me! So maybe I'll persevere, run through my two-second wall of pain that I seem to hit just running for the bus!
I'll let you know how I get on...

And after the Berlin wall ...DG's bid freedom from the bus!
I remember painful school runs (always the last one, feeling veeeery nauseous... and no scenery on the school track, and all the good runners far ahead!) I thought some people were just not meant to run. But when I started running years later I like it! Turned out school makes you run much too fast. Any one can run at their own pace. And the pace accelerates quickly - very satisfying! Although I much prefer my bike now :-)
