Finally got round to putting this year’s calendar up and this is January’s picture, it really made me laugh as that was me last January.
I started week 3 of Bridge to 10k this morning and decided to do the short run, the rain and wind were heavy and strong during the night and not much better this morning, but as the rain eased off and there’s no escaping our strong southerlies anyway, it was suck it up and get on with it. Decided to head in to the wind along the uninspiring path next to the railway line, but a wave and a toot from a train driver had me grinning (they probably see my leggings from miles away) I had Otis Redding and Barry White for company, but the last couple of hundred metres it was Tina Turner’s Proud Mary, which was probably why I finished with a sprint. Loved, loved, loved that run. 7k run next a lot slower me thinks. Happy running everyone 🤓
Yay for train drivers! A lovely train driver once did a 'bing bong announcement' for my Jamaican friend Charm's birthday. She'd never been on a train (no trains in Jamaica) so we went to the next town along to the night club and I accosted the driver as he got on the train and asked if he could organise a special 'bing bing announcement'. 'Bing bong, this train will be stopping at blah blah and happy birthday Charm'.
Aah! That’s so cool, for you to ask and the train driver to oblige. Sometimes its just the small things that mean so much. Would have made Charm’s day.
