On Saturday we did the Mulbarton parkrun and had a good chat with mxhornet. It was a bit wet and the course was all on grass, but everyone was very friendly and we met the Race Director from Sedgefield (about 5 miles from Durham) who just happened to be down that way as well.
On Monday we did the Pathfinder marathon event. It is 26m round the Cambridgeshire countryside. It was mainly flat though there was the odd undulation. It got very hot after about an hour and half and I struggled in the last four miles. Melanie wanted to get it finished so I persuaded her to go on. Both of us did our best times for quite a while for a trail marathon
Again we found people that we knew at the event - Foxy, Nightjar and familiar faces from the 100 marathon club. There were probably only about forty runners and about ten of them I had met before. Four pounds to enter or seven pounds to get a mug, it was a bargain
On the way back north we stopped off at Rutland Water which neither of us had visited before. We walked round some of it, we must go back there
