To The Duke's Garden Centre


To replace the melon plant the snail killed. Why can't they wait till the plants get some leaves?

Not the best day to go as its the Chester Half Marathon, a 30 minute wait whilst they trundle past. In another life time 3 stone and 25 years lighter I could manage a half marathon in 1 hour 35 mins, a marathon in 3 hours 23 minutes.

Marathons are funny affairs in that you hit a wall about 20 miles in. This is where the body runs out of glycogen and starts to use body fat as energy. It affects runners differently usually in an emotional way. It can make you cry.

I met Lisa when I was a jogger.

Marathons that I have run include the North Wales, Liverpool, Manchester and Barmouth. I have had a look at the rain radar which is not good. A band of red and pink moving up the country. It was at Mid Wales when we came out. Red and pink means a downpour. Sure enough the heavens open. Running in cold rain is uncomfortable, a pace is required that keeps body temperature up. Stopping is not an option unless there is somewhere warm to go.
