Might have bumped into you on my bike ... I'd have tagged along with you had I known. I've not done a run this week, but planning to take the Pathfinder marathon tomorrow at very very slow pace ... if you are around it starts about 5 miles north west of Cambridge just off the A14. Don't know about the route ... it is really a walk and comes with a route description, so I guess much of it will be across fields etc. (found it on the list of marathons from the 100 marathon club http://www.100marathonclub.org.uk/race-marathon.html) Start is at 8:30 am tomorrow

I didn't enjoy the run much though. My mate is not a runner and did her best to find me a route but we only managed a couple of miles along the Cam, the rest of it was around Cambridge itself. I was disappointed that not one runner returned my smile / nod they all looked away...even in south london we smile at each other. I would not have been hard to spot BW as I'm pretty sure I was the only black girl, dressed in black running through Cambridge on Saturday! Do you know a route from Cambourne to Cambridge? Or at least some pointers for my next 20 miler?

Bit of a monoculture, but we know our limes Don't think there is an easy route from Cambourne to Cambridge. You can see what others have done on mapmyrun: old.mapmyrun.com I typically run along the river north of the town, towards Waterbeach, something like the river parts of this run: old.mapmyrun.com Let me know if you'd like to try it out if you're around again.
