Why?
Combining Anna’s half marathon run with a city break
Our son, Ben, was busy plotting his Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Expedition Section. This involves spending four days and three nights in the great outdoors, with eight hours of planned activity each day and at least 50% of that time on the move – in his case, in the glorious scenery of the Peak District.
Meantime, Harvey and I were sitting opposite, planning our trip with Lucy, our seven-year-old Cavachon. Our city break would combine some sightseeing in the capital with my participation in the London Landmarks Half Marathon.
With our training schedules and routes sorted, and gear packed, we waved Ben off on his adventure – his fully laden backpack would be his only home for the next few nights.
