When the Saints go marching in...


... we go marching out!

Today Southampton FC won promotion back to the Premier League with a convincing 4-0 victory over Coventry.

While they were doing that... we were out training, in the wind and rain! More specifically, Gelly & Sam were out training in the wind and rain... I was at home supervising the plumber. Gelly wanted to do some hill training and suggested repeating the night walk route twice to make up 21 miles. We hatched a plan that Gelly and Sam would start off and do the first loop while I stayed at home to wait for the plumber to finish, then I would drive out and meet them for the second loop.

In reality it worked pretty well: Gelly got her hill training and I got to stay indoors until the worst of the rain had passed through!

After all the rain in recent weeks the tracks were like quagmires in places. This definitely slowed us down a bit and we really hope it's drier on the actual day as that will make such a big difference.

Due to doing the double loop and taking some detours to avoid the worst of the 'puddles' our route looks a bit odd, but here it is anyway.
