Now that's not a winner in itself. But having caught the bus home from that point... it was on diversion, so I got off further along and ran the 2.15 miles home from that point. That's 6.18 miles carrying a Waitrose sourdough loaf.

Yesterday I did 1.5 miles from the bakery to work with a sourdough loaf, then back home - approx 3 miles. Yesterday I ran with a cheese and mustard Danish pastry and last week with a bacon and egg muffin. If you've ever got a bit of time at Bristol Temple Meads station, go out of the station and check out this place. There are seats and great coffee.
