27 Jan – Kop Hill plus 10 miles – YES!

OK, I am so excited – Jamie and I ran all the way to the top of Kop Hill this morning, no stopping, no walking, no talking – straight to the top – YES. I am so chuffed, this has been my aim for the past couple of years, I can’t quite believe I actually did it. Jamie admitted that he would have stopped at the lay-by half way up if I hadn’t been there so we’re both very pleased with ourselves. We then went through the woods – lovely mud – and all the way back down the other side to the pub, then up Jacob’s ladder – basically steps all the way back up the other side of the hill, across the meadow – with a stop for a ‘The hills are alive with the sound of music’ moment and a couple of twirls, up to Pulpit Hill and all the way down over Cymbeline’s Mount home. 10 miles in total and an hour and 56 mins. Feeling a little tired but exhilarated – totally justify eating a roast dinner now.
