Running ragg(we)ed

Took the option of (almost) the whole Tuesday night run out towards Ketteringham and Hethersett, running with Julia on her first long run for ages. Whereas the others took Cantley Lane to the monument and then Station Lane, we headed along the footpath by the railway to emerge at the A11 junction. It only cuts half a mile off but saves running on the narrow lane, which can be quite a rat run sometimes. The shorter distance is more than made up for by the amount of jinking around ragweed, thistles, nettles and rabbit holes... all good agility training :) Crossing the A11 on the flat was straightforward, surprisingly, leaving the worst bit of the run as Roundhouse Way (or across the fields, as it appears on Google's out of date imagery), where the roads are made, but the pavements are not. All hail King Car.

8 miles, 1h20.
