Back in Blighty

I did toy with the idea of taking my Garmin and running kit to Frankfurt with me as I thought it would be cool to run in a foreign country and even more cool to get an aerial pic of it but then reality struck and I thought what are the chances of me getting up early and going for a run Saturday morning when we’re not even getting to the hotel until after midnight and I thought the chances are fuck all. Although I did get a run in on the way back when after going the wrong way twice on the way to the airport and arriving in the carpark 10 minutes before the departure gate was closing, me and my new running partners in the form of Tracey, Luke and Ian legged it to the departure gate and got there at the last second and because we had priority boarding, walked straight onto the plane in front of the people who got there on time. Result.

So in an effort to blow away some cobwebs and exercise some damage limitation after three days of over consumption and the pizza I ordered last night, I went for a quick spin round the park. I saw a blackbird but I still don’t have photographic evidence of the fact that I now know the difference between blackbirds and crows because I didn’t take my camera with me.
