Feeling good this evening - ran 5 km this morning (that's just over 3 miles for the metrically-challenged), and did it faster than I've done it before. I figure that as I have no extra time to give to running, I have to get faster so that I can go further in the time available to me.
An old caving club friend came round this afternoon - she's keen that we should come up with some challenge to do together this summer. She suggested the London to Brussels cycle ride, but as I've already done London to Paris, which is longer, I'd rather do something else. So now we're on the lookout for an idea. We might cycle somewhere (a trip round Brittany was one idea), or go hiking/backpacking - maybe a good chunk of one of the European Grande Randonees. Another idea floated was doing a circuit of Lake District peaks staying overnight in pubs, rather than camping (a strangely appealing idea, can't think why....).
I think I'd like to do something that involves heading out into the mountains somewhere - so much of my life is spent surrounded by people and cars and noise that a bit of peace and quiet and back-to-nature stuff is very attractive. Somewhere I can see the stars really clearly would do just fine.
