Afternoon all. 9KM done! Nearly there...

I made myself get ready for my run this morning, then just stood in the hall and felt bored. I was trying to work out where to go that would be different, but I wasn't intending to go that far and I've done the routes round here to death.

Hubby enquired as to my pained expression & when I explained he offered to meet me somewhere with the car after my run.

This immediately perked me up. I decided to take a rather convoluted run through the uni grounds and make my way down to the river, where hubby would have walked the dog and be available to taxi me home.

I didn't have a distance in mind, but in the event I realised it was going to end up at 8K, so I added a sneaky extra one as I'm trying to get back up to 10 (then 16).

It was really lovely by the river. Lots of canoes out with instructors shouting at them from their bicycles 🚲 Lots of runners (I always wonder if I'm passing one of you guys!).

All in all, as so often happens, I started out with not much enthusiasm and am now feeling very pleased with myself.

Podcast excellent. Louis Theroux talking to an actress, whose name escapes me, who used to be a scientologist.

Happy Sunday!

Well done on your runπŸ™‚ - a new route can make a big difference. I like a podcast too - might have a hunt for Louis Theroux.

He's ace. He did 2 series in lock down, all interesting, even if you don't know the people!

Sounds brilliant. And also applause for hubby. These little offers of support make a huge difference when our gremlins try to keep us from moving forwards! πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘

Yes indeed, I was very grateful - especially as I had underestimated the time I would be running, so he had to hang around for me.
