After a few more successful 5milers, I did a bit of a wonky 15 miles this weekend, still adopting the run/walk routine.

Suffering from a bad cold/temperature and generally feeling sorry myself for missing last Tuesday’s run, I visited parents (thanks Mum/Dad for sponsoring me!) and found my Dad’s been stalking me on my blog

Dad has taken up running, but wants to run before he walks (hi Dad). So he joined a running club and seemed to be doing well and wanted me (without super runner OH!) to take him for a run.

OH drove up to sunny Suffolk, and dropped me off 4m before we got there so I could do my run. OH and son drove each mile to check on me and make sure I didn’t get lost, and it was lovely to have a support crew.

Straight away I took Dad out, although he had the excuse of eating just half hour before I got there.. I assured him he can do a short run/walk still and not get out of it!

We trotted off and burnt a princely 70 calories before he gave up! He was trying to run under 10minute mile pace and insists he can’t slow down! But this also means he can’t go far! Son came with me, and he actually did it easily although insists he can’t be a runner… there’s still hope

Yesterday I did my 15m, OH was here and did his but went a different and faster route. Sadly I can report he has a poorly knee so fingers crossed he can recover for marathon as he’s doing Brighton AND London within the week.

Name and shame…. OH returned before we did (son came with as support crew and cycled on his new Giant bike – MTB and man version similar to mine), and he confessed he put my cycling shorts on to do his stretching! Come to think of it….  a pair of nickers are missing too……
