It is less than 3 weeks until the big day. This week I have completed 2 training runs in Gosport and I had intended to complete two runs in Bournemouth.

I volunteered as the ‘Duty Driver’ for my sons ‘Stag Event’ in Bournemouth. We arrived in Bournemouth on Friday afternoon giving me the opportunity to have a training run on the beach.

The weather was ideal and as can be seen from the pictures very quiet. I completed an 8 mile run and was then ready for the festivities to follow.

One of the planned activities for Saturday was five aside football. With 11 participants there was no hiding place, within 10 minutes I was involved in a tackle which I did not win and my ankle came out second best.  Not wishing to stop, I continued for the remainder of the game which in hindsight was not the best decision.

Sunday morning, ankle rather swollen,  the planned run no longer possible.

I am therefore unable to train for a few days which is a bit frustrating but necessary!

There is a change in ‘The Home Challenge’, with Magnolia moving up to Second place. Placings thus far:

1. Southsea
2. Magnolia
3. Gosport
4. Eden
