I don’t know how I came to work in one of the busiest places around and flipping Covid has just made it busier, extra infection prevention extra risk assessments and extra anxiety to support people

We are loving the magic plan, this is week 4 so our short run of the week after an 8 hour shift

Chilly, dull, clouds, trees dark and looming in contrast to last Tuesdays green and shining

Set off slowly, ran together for a while and agreed we are both tired and not much bounce in our legs, plodded on, I went off round the river, saw a few dog walkers

Today’s playlist was a mixture of Paul simon, Joan Baez and Mary Chapin Carpenter, they went well together, I’ve cracked the Amazon playlists, was scrolling through on my watch til I got bored but now pick some artists I like and put them together in a play list beginning with a 😀

Run done, nothing very exciting, nothing special just 4k slowly plodding along, sprint finish and yay negative splits for first 3k back to the track Willow had a little to go so was running short sprints to get finished

Home in the warm, i was hungry hadn’t eaten all day so got out yesterday’s left over veg broke some cheese on top heat in microwave and shared a tin of sardines with the cat, don’t even like sardines so cat got most lol

Willow made something later but by then I was dozing on the couch

Lovely picture 🐈 and lovely narrative of your day - sounds like a therapeutic run and chill with the cat. Purrfect.

I love the photo of your cat, as you know I also have a cat, nice short run for you after that 8 hour shift, yes indeed it is a very busy time for you just now, I am glad that running relieves your work stress a little.

I love ginger cats, it reminds me of the ginger Tom I had has a child. He was such a beautiful cat. Don’t know how you managed to eat sardines 🤢. I can eat any fish but not tinned sardines😂. My husband loves them and gives them to our dog.

Sardines on toast - yum 😋 a favorite lunch of mine. If I had a cat I wouldn't share - sorry 🙁

Another run, another step forward on the magic plan, and a perfect way to de-stress after a busy day.

Good luck with the 8k - you will be buzzing afterwards 😁
