The highlight of the week was a return to Lewes’s fabled Twitten run, which approaches its sixth anniversary. I last tackled it on 11th July 2021. By chance, as I ran it with Rob, Nick and Bec, we happened upon its founder and only begetter, Duncan, on his way to Blackcap. Other runs comprised a taxing hill session with the Seaford Striders Wednesday night group, and two seafront runs. I also officiated at Seaford Beach parkrun, as volunteer co-ordinator.
More intrepid runners than me took on a 14 mile course starting and finishing at the Southease youth hostel, the halfway point of the Moyleman. It was an interesting route, taking in parts of the Moyleman itself, and that protean event, a race starting and finishing at Firle Place that has been, variously, a half-marathon, a 20k and, I think, a 10 miler. I am proud to say that two members of Seaford Striders took second place and third female in this event.
