3.7 - Larkhall and Hedgemead Park.
Run 21 of 21 - 8.4 miles (85.0 miles)
Brutal, brutal run - there's a good reason I put this one off a while. I started on an empty stomach at 8am and had to stop to get a bread roll at the Somerfield on St Saviour's Road about a quarter of the way in. Unfortunately this meant I was now running on a full stomach, which was slightly worse. (I'm fairly sure I was able to hear it jumping up and down in there.) Then came Bennett Lane, steepest road on Earth, every handbrake's nightmare, clocking in at a rather impressive 89 degree incline.
Starting early was good though (the sun scorches less), and I covered a fair old bit of ground today.
Running every street in Bath
I have challenged myself to run every single street in Bath.
For why? For endurance, for fitness (too many cheeseburgers) and out of general curiosity (not the cat-perishing type, obviously). I've seen another guy do the same for Pittsburgh so I thought I would give it a go, and I'm giving myself until the time it takes me to graduate to completely finish this.
Obviously because Bath is a fairly sprawled-out city with little in the way of a discernable border, I'm having to set boundaries on whereabouts Bath ends and the rest of the world begins. I will run the entirety of the centre of Bath, in addition to Widcombe, Bathwick, Claverton Down, Oldfield Park, Twerton, Whiteway, Southdown, Combe Down and the top half of Odd Down enclosed by Frome Road on the South, and Weston, Walcot, Charlcombe, Larkhall, Swainswick and Bathampton on the North. I won't be going any further than the A46/A4 Batheaston Bypass, the A36 Warminster Road beyond Bathampton, the A367 beyond Frome Road, Newton St. Loe on the Western side and, because we have to draw the line somewhere, the A36 Lower Bristol Road beyond the last turn-off at Twerton.
I'll be tackling this great city in a series of smaller stages as and when I find the time to plan (and jog) each one. I may use public transport to get to a pre-designated starting point but every road will have to be run in its entirety.
I aim to complete the whole city in a little under 15 months: every road must be marked completed by June 1st, 2010.
