So we took our running gear out to Fuerteventura but in the end only managed to do one run … at midday … in the heat and humidity. What do they say about mad dogs and Englishmen?

Skydive Fail Redux
Another great weekend: an early-ish start for me, as I had another photoshoot planned with the fab Anita De Bauch at her home in North London. She’s a great hostess as well as model: knowing I’m watching my weight and love my coffee, she’d laid on decent coffee and some very low calorie snacks to munch on during the shoot, which was on a Hollywood/Film Noir/Boudoir theme.
Some great results already despite my not really having much if any time for edits on Saturday afternoon before I headed over to Epsom for Dinner and a film: the really rather dull “Paranormal Activity 2”.
Sunday morning and off we went over towards Swindon for  our second attempt at skydiving … and our second postponement, again due to weather. Grr! Trying again in October.
Back to Epsom before heading out for an 11.5 miles bike ride over the downs and country parks accompanying GT who’s doing another half marathon in a couple of weeks and hasn’t really trained. Trained? Trust me, she doesn’t need to: she treated it with disdain like a stroll to the shops. Awesome, as they say…
4 Mile Thames Path Run
I decided that I should go for a quick run this afternoon to make up for a mahoosive meal at Nando’s in Epsom last night – we won’t mention the cake and jelly at IKEA Croydon {shudder} – and knowing that it’s pasta and partying tonight.
So I chose a nice and easy 2 mile jog. I felt fine a mile into the route so carried on, and the same after a mile and a half so I decided I’d head on to the 2 mile mark before turning back. Worked well, I think.
Le Weekend
Well that was a great weekend! Friday evening saw me over at GT’s for a lovely meal out and a few drinks afterwards.
An early start on Saturday heading back to mine before going down to Hastings to meet up with “the Kreiga Krew”: a bunch of mates all heading off for a biking holiday in the Ardeche Valley in June.
Lots of drinks and a Nepalese meal before an atrociously poor couple of games of pool in the pub and back to Yox’s for more drinking and a very late night!
Sunday morning and Yox did us a huge breakfast with eggs to rival even mine. Diverted on my way back to go to GT’s.
She had just completed a 15 mile race in a new Personal Best! I’m so proud of her!
Cuddles in front of the telly watching “Being Human” on BBC iPlayer before heading out for a meal: walking into town! Where does she find the energy?
Great weekend!
