My friend Gareth gave me a warning about trying to snag a Dutchman… he said ‘the trouble is, Lucy… their legs are so long that they are very hard to catch’.
What words of wisdom! To cut a long story short, the running training must have paid off because I managed to catch up with a very long-legged example, lose him temporarily (on a particularly difficult bend in the road) and then (by summoning up all my lungpower) catch him again. We’re happily jogging along at the moment, but who knows where the road will take us in the future (and I’m not sure whether my substantially shorter legs are up for the challenge). We’ll just have to see.
