29th July - Chicken makes you fitter
The weather was dire earlier. . . heavy rain and a gusty wind. . . but I much prefer being out in extremes of weather, so it was a good run out over the Water Meadows to Cow Bridge and back into twon along the old railway.
The run felt pretty good - I was forced to walk for a while to get past a herd of heifers (male cows), as my yellow Gore jacket was attracting some of their attention. But the rest of the run was pretty painless and I was able to have a sensible conversation with Richard at Leonard Walker butchers, when I stopped to get a chicken for tonight’s tea.
The run back home was then like a strange rugby training session, with a good sized chicken tucked under one arm like a heavy-weight rugby ball.
