I was increadibly slow tonight I justy couldn't find any get up and go. I have noticed this dip in performance usually before I come down with a bug of some sort. It was warm and this was my 3rd run in 3 days and it did include a heavy session on the track last night so these are probably good reasons for the dip in performance.

I was also somewhat distracted by listening to a book on my MP 3 player. I borrowed Stephen Kings 'Everything is Eventual' from the library on cd then converted it to mp3 for my player. I saw an article in Runners World which suggested this and I have to say it makes a great change from listening to music on the player and is very absorbing. I will certainly give this ago again. I think it was £1.50 to borrow from the library so this is good value.

I was feeling a little tired as I set out for this run up to Ickworth Park via Horringer. I have had a good week as far as the mileage goes and including today's run 38 miles represents my best total since September 2005.

I didn't really expect to see anymore bras in the trees at Horringer. My last run this way on the 26th December saw an additional few plus a chair in the trees. Today the folks of Horringer if it is them didn't disappoint (if it is them?) and there was a new white and red one plus half a pink one. There was also a grey sock just one no sign of the other.

It does remind me a bit of that Stephen King book I can't think of the title but the one where all the telegraph lines are draped in trainers. Anyway it is all good fun and I am not sure when it will end but I will continue to report it as I see it as vital bra news from Horringer.

My run actually went very well and I felt very comfortable. I ran past Ickworth House down to the lake and then continued on the path past what I think are the White Houses. It certainly is a lovely thatched house and I had to take a picture.
