Listen the date - part 2

-

Here is the final half of my Run The Date playlist:

Day 16 - Gabriel by Lamb - My favourite band and one of their best songs. Beautiful.

Day 17 - Every time the sun comes up by Sharon Van Etten - I just love her voice and this lazy, meandering tune is perfect for a long run.

Day 18 - The Shining by Badly Drawn Boy - Another feel good song that just trickles along like a babbling brook carrying you with it.

Day 19 - Got to keep on by The Chemical Brothers - Back to some hard, fast dance music. The title says it all and I'll need that mantra at this point.

Day 20 - Beetlebum by Blur - I'm hoping this rolling, repetitive refrain will lull me into a trance so the miles fly by. Reminds me of playing darts at university...

Day 21 - One more time by Daft Punk - Another hypnotic track but with a good mantra to boot.

Day 22 - Higher State of Consciousness by Josh Wink - You can tell I'm rolling out the high energy tracks as we approach the marathon distance. This is the most high energy track I know. I tormented my flatmates in halls of residence with this until my speakers gave up. A friend referred to it as R2-D2 being electrocuted. Just what I will need on this day.

Day 23 - Wake Up by Arcade Fire - Uplifting, joyous, ecstatic, huge and a joy to run to.

Day 24 - Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin - There's a lady whose sure all that glitters is gold....

Day 25 - Windowlicker by Aphex Twin - You may not know the title but I'm sure you'll recognise the tune. Experimental, catchy, weird and fantastic.

Day 26 - Inni mer syngur vitleysingur by Sigur Ros - The beat of this song fits my running cadence perfectly. You'll know I'm listening to this as I'll have a stupid grin on my face, hands in the air and chanting gobbledigook.

Day 27 - Sweet child o'mine by Guns 'n' Roses - Axl's voice, Slash's guitar, that opening solo. An epic tear jerker.

Day 28 - Seven Nation Army by White Stripes - Dum, dum-dum dum-dum dum dum. Tsh tsh tsh tsh. Gonna beat out these 28 on Meg's drumsticks and Jack's howling guitar.

Day 29 - Heroes by David Bowie - I'm no hero but I need to feel like one to get through these final back to back marathons. With David I'll be OK, just for one day.

Day 30 - Nothing else matters by Metallica - A Bald Monkeys anthem. It got John and I through the Dymchurch marathon and it will get me through the last day of the challenge.

A bridge too far?

A post on Facebook caught my attention. This is how many of my running adventures begin. Bex Band, founder of the women's adventure community Love Her Wild had walked across all the bridges in Greater London. Obviously this meant the Thames River. Less obviously there are 33 bridges in total starting at Hampton Court and ending at Tower Bridge. Of these, 26 have pedestrian access and she had crossed them all. 'Hmm, that would make a good run' was my first thought. Seed planted. A couple of months later on a mild, bright January day I travelled to Richmond. My first run was Richmond parkrun with my friend Vicki and her pal Nicola. 3.1 miles, no dear and a warming coffee later, I ran the nine miles to Hampton Court. Twelve miles done and I was ready to start my run! My goal was to cross each bridge when I came to it. That meant crossing Hampton Bridge and a sign denoting entrance to Surrey before turning and re-crossing it to begin. Yes, I am a pedant. Hampton Court Bridge I

Bushy, crewing and an Epping ultra

What a weekend. It involved some running, some supporting runners and a bit more running. Saturday dawned wet and windy. 300 runners were assembling in Wendover ready for a 43 mile run into London. The fields were boggy, the paths were waterlogged and it was cold. Well, what do you expect on January 8th. These hardcore runners set off while I was driving from east to west London. My first stop was Bushy Park. This, as many will know, was the birthplace of parkrun. On 2nd October 2004 13 runners completed the first 5k with support from Paul  and Joanne Sinton-Hewitt. 17 years later it is a global phenomenon. This was my running pilgrimage. I have wanted to run Bushy since I ran my first parkrun in September 2012. This would be my 291st. A gentle rain was falling as I parked up by the Diana Fountain just across from Hampton Court. To stretch my legs - and kill some time, I was an hour early - I ran around the park exploring the tree lined avenues, gated gardens and open marshland.  Tiny

The Druid's Challenge

This weekend I signed up to be a member of the support team on the Druid's Challenge ultra running event in the Chiltern Hills. My friend Matt was running the three day, 85 mile event. I was allocated to help with set up and checkpoint duties on the Saturday and Sweeper on Sunday. The Druid has been going for 12 years. It is organised by XNRG, a family business that 'help people challenge themselves and break through their mental and physical barriers, whilst providing peace of mind with expertly run events, going the extra mile for every competitor.' They also put on the Pilgrim Challenge and a number of charity events raising money for Humanity Direct. To get there for the 7 o'clock start I left London at 3:30am. The benefit of this was clear roads and the ability to drive through the centre of London with no Congestion Charge to pay. I arrived at the agreed meeting point outside the village of Watlington.  The first wave of competitors were walkers. They were brought
