It might have been eight and a half miles in sunshine at the weekend .. but it was a very wet 5 miles in the rain on Monday evening. I don't mind running in the rain .. I quite enjoy it to be honest. And I could have got wet all over again last night. But the traffic on the way home put paid to that. The nearest I got to my club run was driving past my clubmates pounding along the pavements near my home.

Thinking about the forthcoming Thames Path walk I'm trying to make sure I've covered all the angles. We'll obviously print out all the details we'll need. But what (I wondered) would we do if the papers blew away or got too soggy to read? So over the last day or so I've been entering the details into Outlook and it has copied them over to the phone. I've also programmed the accomodation details into the phone's mapping software and stored copies of the Word documents with the relevant names/addresses/phone numbers/booking references. Hopefully that means I'll have all the info I need readily available - and if I lose the phone let's hope I've still got the paperwork handy! :)

The small matter of putting together a list of what to take .. and how it will all fit into the rucksack remains.
