I have to thank our local radio station, Wessex FM, for their fantastic plug about the run. It was a recorded interview and went out in three formats, and thanks to some clever editing, I didn't sound like a total prat.
I have great respect for people who can give a clear and concise interview with out to many ummmms and arrrrrrsss.
But like most people who hear themselves on air I didn't recognise the voice as mine !!!! It was recorded over a phone-line, but I still think it sounded a bit strange. I was hardly a candidate to read the news.
I had a brilliant run last weekend in warm sunshine. It was through one of the prettiest vales in Dorset, from Burton Bradstock through Litton Cheney, Long Bredy, Little Bredy, Hardy's Monument and Winterbourne Abbas up to the Roman Road and home to Compton Valence. Although it was just 15 miles, it was like a spring day with birds singing, people out working in their gardens, all in all it was beautiful!
I was happy and knackered at the end.
I have finally eventually bought a new watch; a Polar RS200 with a heart monitor. All I have to do is work out how it operates, that should pass an hour or two!
I bought it on-line, having failed to get one locally. I picked the watch from a website, then phoned them to check the details etc. In passing, I mentioned that it was offered by another company for less, but their site was not as comprehensive. Without hesitation the gentleman offered to match the price. Result! I would still have preferred to buy local, but I suppose that's life.
