We’ve had a lot of rain fall over the past few days. This painting was completed, under cover, as the rain continued to fall and is an accurate depiction of a scene in an adjacent village. They had a convenient arc moored nearby and most of them were able to clamber aboard. Not sure why a substantial number of them are naked. I’m not going to speculate. All I can say is that our village is more conservative. We tend to keep our clothes on and stay indoors when it rains.
An exception to this is running club night although yesterday we all ran with our kit on. It was cold, windy and very wet but still managed to be fun. We ran nearly full pelt for a minute then recovered for a minute. We did six of these, recovered for five minutes then did another six. In terms of distance it wasn’t far but it was demanding. I can’t remember why it benefited us. I just follow orders and run. Drank 500 mls in the car on the way home and another 250 mls of tonic water (with quinine) later. This regime is successful in warding off the extremely painful cramps I’ve suffered in the past.
Tomorrow, I’ll do a training session with Lorna and friends.
Saturday, it’s Cambridge parkrun.
Sunday, Juneathon Day 1. I’m doing the Flaming June half marathon.
Good start to June planned, good luck.
Ta very much. May the miles be gentle on you this June.
