Whisky, and running the Parkland Walk

Every so often I meet up with a couple of friends for a whisky tasting. Yesterday afternoon it was their turn to come over to my house.

It was billed as the "Dad Noises Session": its objective being to taste whiskies tasty enough to cause at least one participant to make involuntary Dad Noises.

So, after their young child had been put to bed and we'd eaten, we settled down to taste a few single malts.

I'm pleased to report that the objective of the session was met, and early on in the evening - not in the event by a Dad at all, but by a Mum. Well satisfied, we continued to sip whisky and chat until 02:15 in the morning.

A few short hours later I dragged myself outside and ran 7.3 miles along Parkland Walk and back, a tree-lined path which follows the route of a defunct railway line between Finsbury Park and Highgate.

Miles this week (week 2 of training): 13 (only 2 runs this week, work has been bonkers)
Total miles run since I signed up for the Marathon: 28
No. weeks left: 19
