The big day finally arrived for our return to training post-blisters/flu/lethargy/bad weather. And what a triumphant return it was; a beautiful sunny day and even an appearance from the “lesser spotted jogger” Kingham.
He was somewhat apprehensive at the estimated three mile round journey but relieved to finally get off the mark on the mileage board (it was becoming a source of amusement for everyone else). To his credit he did jog; Stoke-on-Trent train station felt the earth move as he pounded past and he lasted for some of the way along the Trent and Mersey canal path.
But that was the length of jogging achievement until the walking began, hence my rather kind estimated mileage count from his first effort – a brave attempt.
