Running Round the Nature Reserve

I'm determined that no matter how stiff I am after cricket, I'm going to  go running every Monday this summer, just to see if it will relieve any of the problems, and improve my mobility a bit.

I'm fed up of struggling to field at weekends. I've lost any semblance of sprint speed I had, which wasn't much to begin with, and my body co-ordination is terrible at the moment. I just feel clumsy and rubbish, at fielding and batting. The bowling has been ok, apart from yesterday, but the wickets haven't been happening for me.

I want to be better!

I also wanted to have a look at Beacon Hill park, to look at the scabious, and what was feeding off it.

So stiff or not, I ran 7km on quite a warm afternoon, snapped the bees on the scabious - I mean photographed, rather than actually physically snapping the bumbles - and wondering where the butterflies were. No insects on the Ladies' Bedstraw either.

Hmmmm.
