Great Chishill. It sounds like it should be some towering natural edifice, rather than a scrappy corner of a field next to a small copse of trees. It was a good start though, and perhaps a good way to revise my expectations a little. The lack of hills in and around Cambridge, and my distinct lack of fitness, made this a somewhat tougher challenge than I had expected. I planned the route out yesterday after picking up a few OS maps from a local outdoor shop (there’s only one in Cambridge that actually sells maps, so no points for guessing).

Why?! I think this might be the third blog I’ve tried to write. My previous attempts in the past suffered due to lack of a proper theme, motivation; well the usual issues that accompany a chronic lack of creativity. I think (hope?) this one might be a bit different. I’ve been pondering a little running project for a few months, and I’ve finally got off my bum and started to plan it.

I think I’m getting too predictable. As I mentioned in my last blog post I’ve developed a rather annoying habit of writing these posts several months after the event. This has the rather irritating effect that I can only remember half of the details. Nevertheless, here goes… Buy One Get One Free The clock is ticking. It’s December 13th and I’ve only run 3 county hills all year. I said to myself at the beginning of the year that I would do at least 5, preferably more.
