Have taken the family on holiday to Center Parcs in Longleat for a bit of a break and intend to do as much cycling and running as possible. For those who’ve been on a holiday at a Center Parc site, you’ll know you do a lot of cycling – there are no cars allowed. First thing this morning I attempt my first proper run for about two weeks. Our villa is situated on the far side of the site away from most of the activities and it’s really nice being able to run through a forest full of birds singing the morning chorus with almost no one around. Even when you get up early in Tolworth you can only just here the birds coughing above the noise of the rush hour traffic on the A3! I do a few laps of the villas, probably about a mile and a half and I’m back to my wheezing ways – oh dear.
