The Kindness of Strangers

Biking around Central Park the other evening, I came upon a cyclist wearing a very cool looking top with the colours of the Union Jack.  I struck up a conversation asking him where he got it from, and as we continued pedaling round the park together, I found out he was from Israel, but had worked for the British tourist board, and said he may be able to find a spare for me.

So we swapped email addresses, and true to his word, Ivry met up with me on my regular Tuesday Achilles run and presented me with my new top.  Thank-you so much Ivry!

Training is going well.   Have lots of energy, and looking forward to Timberman in 3 week's time.  Just one more week-end of hard workouts, then its time to taper and start focusing on the trip up to New Hampshire.  Can't wait!
