5km round Staffordshire countryside

I went dancing on Fri night, supporting a friend who has written an album. It was a great, but late night. I stayed over with friends and had hoped to be a Parkrun tourist the next day, but no way after such a late night. I awoke to the sound of rain hammering down, turned over and dozed. Next time I came to there was sun coming through the window. I put my running gear on before going down to make a cup of tea, otherwise I knew it would be another hour before I was ready. It was blowing a hooley outside so I added gloves and hat and off I trotted. What a lovel day! I ended up carrying my gloves and hat because running in the sun it was lovely. 5km done then a rather longer walk back than I wanted so I did a couple of intervals at full pelt. Just coz I can! Back for a quick shower and a huge healthy brunch cooked by my friend, followed by another night out dancing to her band on Sat. I’m exhausted! I’m off to play my cello! 🎶🎵

That's the nicest reason for not doing a run I can think of, sounds like it was a wonderful night. I'm a fan of getting into running gear before my gremlins cotton onto what I'm up to. If I hang around in slippers for any length of time there's a real danger I'll talk myself out of going. Good job Baddie!

Only a triple chocolate brownie short of a perfect day BTP. Hope the cello piece was something calming!😴😌
