We tried out some energy gels today given to us courtesy of Lisa Price. At the 50min mark we paused for a suck on the sachets of gel (glucose and flavouring). They were not altogether pleasant, but Jess seemed to think they did som good and helped her in the energy department. Something to persist with I think, see how we go.
Off to Australia in the next few days for some summer running. Jess to leave Tuesday and I'll be following shortly after on the Friday. Can't wait! Next post from home, Hoorah!!

Mortlake or bust
Setting ourselves approx 15km (8.6 miles) to run today, from home to Mortlake which is on the other side of the Thames and close to Barnes, we were keen to reach our destination in 1hr 30min. The weather was quite nice, while still being quite chilly, and we maintained a steady pace througout.
It was nice to run past such visable landmarks, that help to govern where you go. Earls Court, Hammersmith Apollo, Hyde Park, The Thames, Natural History Museum - it's great.
