Day 26 - Thursday 8th July: Milton 5

Run: 5.00 miles
Time: 46 minutes 28 seconds



A more gentle go at this regular route today. Tuesday's was "brisk", today was "steady".
Again I failed to hydrate during the morning, only managing half a pint of water today. One day I'll get organised and make sure I have a good amount to drink before a hot lunchtime run! Still, because I wasn't pushing it, it was quite a good run today.

I overtook another runner out today. I spotted him not long after I'd turned south from the Drayton road back towards Milton village. He was running on the left of the road, whereas I was correctly running on the right, heading into the oncoming traffic. I could tell I was going to overtake him, and as I drew near I realised we were making a rolling chicane as oncoming cars began to pull over to avoid me, thus getting closer to him. Why was he running on the wrong side of the road? Who does he think he is, Eddy Izzard? Luckily I left him behind as I got to Milton and then it was soon back into the Park and back to work.
