Interesting Day of Running and Family Time

Posted by: Andrew In: Running General

Sundays are great aren’t they?

Elisabeth Fink's running man at the Yorkshire Sculpture ParkI went out for a run at 7.30 am this morning with my new running partner Phil (who needs to learn to slow down!), for an 8 miler on the footpaths around Harrogate and Knaresborough. Had a bit of trouble with the Garmin Forerunner 405, first of all not picking up the satellites for the first half mile which is always annoying. Then the rain made the screen keep jumping around towards the end, and finally, just as I got home the battery ran out completely – fortunately the details were saved!

Then we saw the outlaws off after they had been here all week (no comment on that in case these words are read :) ) – it was a shame to see them go….

Then we all (wife and 3 kids) went off to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Even though it was raining that horrible fine rain that just sits in the air, we had a great time.

Favourite sculptures were those of the bronzes by Elisabeth Frink. My favourite of which being the tall “Running Man”. The photo doesn’t so it justice :) For some reason, the kids (especially my girls (10 & 8)) found the sculpture very funny and were in hysterics.

Got home and had pizza for tea and played lego with Max (3) before putting the kids to bed and relaxing for the remainder of the evening.

Here’s to another great week next week…….
