Marvelous Malverns
[Mike: I was too lazy to write this blog post - so I asked the lovely Julie if she wanted to do it, and she actually said yes!] If I was going to do any of these runs with Mike, it was going to be Worcestershire, the place of my birth, the homeland. The highest point in Worcestershire is Worcestershire Beacon in the Malvern Hills, which form a long ridgeway along the Worcestershire and Herefordshire border.

Running on the North Downs
As I write this, the world has gone through is in the throws of a global viral pandemic. How humanity comes out the otherside is a matter of pure speculation. The only thing that I know, is that if this doesn’t change how our society works, I’m not sure what will. This blog isn’t about SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for the current state of affairs for future readers). It’s about running, hills and adventures on whatever scale you can manage them.

Mud, mud, mud
What do you do when you’re bored in January and live in Cambridge? Answer: drive for 2 hours to fulfill an idiotic challenge to run up an arbitrary number of hills based on a somewhat tenuous definition of a ‘highest point’. It just dawned on me that I can’t really justify this challenge, other than “I’ve started so I’ll finish”. It’s genuinely nice that people regularly ask me how the challenge is progressing, but I also get a little bit of a sense of disappointment when I tell them I’ve only run up 16/103 hills.
