Remarkably I made it out again on Tuesday night this week. It was decided that it was time to cross to the other side of the Itchen and, after much badgering from Darren, we agreed on Chalk Hill.

After nearly a month off Tuesday night runs for one reason or another I finally made it out again last night. Nobody had been out the previous week due to the snow so we got to do the (Lords Hill) Sainsburys run which is normally reserved for the first Tuesday of the month.

Tonight was my first Tuesday night run of the week having attending the SOC club night last week. We did the Thursday Night Run backwards (apparently!). I was just glad to keep my dinner down having finished eating only half an hour before the run. I’ve got used to eating at half five these days and find it hard to wait until eight o’clock or later. I put it down as good mountain marathon training!

702On Saturday, the annual “Run the Pubs” took place where we run between all of the pubs that have been visited as part of the Tuesday night runs during the preceeding summer. I was still feeling a bit under the weather so was happy enough when Christine suggested that we run it as a relay. Unfortunately my leg was considerably longer than her’s: The High Corner Inn to Bank (via the Royal Oak, Sir Walter Tyrell and New Forest Inn) versus Bank to Beaulieu Road Station. I survived though to enjoy the post-run meal at the final pub. (Note: Darren did make it to the finish this year, just not in time for the photo!)

A small but hardy crew braved the bitterley cold weather tonight for a run up Chalk Hill (which forms the Eastern edge of the route shown below).
