Birthday Parkrun

So pleased with my time, especially as I was pushing the buggy *and* it included a total stop to swap the grandchildren over, halfway round, as well as a few walking stretches on the inclines of the very last lap. Hope everyone else's Parkrun went as well as mine did! (With the exception of teething problems with my new - but secondhand - Garmin Forerunner 110, don't know if it's my fault or whether there's a problem with it... but time will tell.)

Eldest grandsprocket is currently asleep, upstairs, after trying to run alongside some of the runners on the grass beside the path - he is only 2 bless him, but he does like to runπŸƒ - so I've bathed in the very posh bubble bath my daughter gave me - it has arnica in it - I am a big fan of arnica, and now I am eating smoked trout and salad for lunch πŸ˜€ along with a small glass of rosΓ© bubbles, I also have a single - birthday present - chocolate for pudding.

Thank you πŸ˜€

Suddenly realised I need to drive later, so had to stop drinking the bubbles - I wouldn't be over the limit, but was beginning to feel a bit fuzzy (I don't have a head for wine!). Will pour myself a fresh glass later.

Thank you!

Grandsprocket is now awake and we are playing on the floor. 😍

Many happy returns Maddee. We're having a birthday weekend here too for my partner's 50th. The mood is very upbeat and enjoyable. Hope you're having an excellent day too. What better start than to do something you love with people you love. Sounds like everything's coming together very well :)

Happy Birthday 'partner'!

It was a great way to spend a morning, I even got to play in the sandpit with the smalls after - I like an excuse to build sandcastles. 😎

Birthdays can feel so playful can't they. Rock on - sandcastles - now you're talking ;) :)

Thank you! Lunch was only slightly marred by discovering coriander in amongst the salad leaves. Yuck! But a sip of bubbly got rid of the nasty taste.

Bubbly always works!

Happy birthday! What a wonderful day with running, family, yummy food and bubbles. Enjoy it all.

Not today. I gave blood on Wednesday. The regulars on here warned me about running today, as did my husband. Of course, I knew best - until I reached 2k and came over lightheaded. Walked the majority of what was left! My mind was strong but my body would not oblige. Don't feel too bad about it though - 5k is 5k whether you walk it or run it!

Thanks! I was very pleasantly surprised with the time, I thought doing it in 40 minutes would be good (but possibly pushing it, no pun intended).
