#juneathon Day 26: Midsummers Run

This evening was warm and muggy, so very warm and so very muggy. Not ideal running conditions for me but I guess better than driving wind and rain.
Tonight was alos week 7 of our 8 week beginners courseand had stepped up time running again to 8mins with 1 min walk breaks, everyone is doing so fantastcially well. we left the rec in 3 small groups - everyone is finding their natural pace now which is great to see. I think we may have a few new additions to groups 3 and 4 at the club very soon!
Tonight was also the PWR midsummers run where the usual format is slighlty changed and we spilt into 3 larger groups for runs through the woods stopping off at a 2 check piunts for lemonade or beer and socialisuing before heading to the next!
First stop was in Chislehurst and I ran there with groups 1/2, then onwards from there I moved up to Groups 3/4 as we departed and went through Scadbury to emerge at the other side to a strikingly similar drinks station and yet more beer.
This run, now a tradition for PWR is such a good way to get around the different groups and meet new or catch up with people you don't normally get to run with. I was somewhat concerned about the insects as stopping in the woods could just be asking for trouble epecially with my rather tasty flesh (not my words - but proof from the thousands of insect bites!). Departing the last checkpoint we headed to our final destination the rather fabulous garden of Mike and Dawn where we were treated to Pimms as we readied for the Grand Prix (and other events) prizegiving.
