Comments:
Ran from the University of Essex campus where I'm taking a week-long summer course on surveying hard-to-reach populations down toward the Sea. Ended up getting thoroughly lost and couldn't really consult my phone very often cause the battery was very low and I wanted to be able to find the street my airbnb was on once I got back to town. As a result, I ended up making a rather ridiculous wrong turn that added on a couple miles, and when presented with the choice of going back the shortest way or a pretty route with river and trails, I chose the latter. The result was my longest run since the marathon in May. But hey, the weather was cool, the sunset gorgeous, the sounds of birds singing and flapping their wings, and amphibians, and dogs, and trains whistle was all I could ever ask for. A run to remember, for sure.
