WalkThirty-three – Thank God, it’s only a mile!
Believe it or not, it was ordinary unfit people doing the London Marathon that made me think of this year-long project. However I knew that whatever I did, if I was going to keep it up, it would probably have to be something I did very, very regularly. As I thought about what I could reliably manage every day, the distance got shorter and shorter and more and more distanced from marathon training. Eventually I settled on a mile there and a mile back (mainly because anything less would have made a crappy blog title and would have just been an embarrassment). Anyway on a day like today where all the energy seems to have sapped out of me, thank goodness I wasn’t more ambitious. Today I didn‘t even have the energy to draw, (which I'll have you know, is far more difficult outside when if you're lucky you might have half your bum perched on a wet bollard or where you find that you're having to use spit for a watercolour because you remembered all the materials apart from some water) Anyway for your delectation a few scribbles showing the hot night spots of Sandridge.

Are those foamy little pints I see on the map? Apparently it stops raining next Friday!
Well, after a year, maybe your whole bum will fit on a wet bollard - that should be much more comfy! EVERY day is quite an ask - even marathon trainers take days off - however, for me, at the moment I think that would be the beginning of a nibbling of the goal. It's all so very English in Sandridge. I hope you get some drier weather soon. My aunt in Northampton has been complaining too.
You spotted them Katherine!
Well Alison, if my bum is the same size at leat I'll have 'met' you guys and have a bunch of pictures and I think I'll like this place even more.
