Today is my day off but I worked til 10pm yesterday.
One lady who lives there asked if I was sleeping in and bringing the tablets round in the morning. No says I, it will be P tomorrow, it’s my day off, so after some thought she asked what I was going to do on my day off and I explained that I would lay in bed and read a book, she thought this was hilarious so after some discussion she asked what else I would do, so, totally running out of ideas and time I said I would go for a run! You’re joking says she!! 🤣 that took some explaining but she got it eventually that i wasn’t joking and would go for a run.
So I had to didn’t I?
We lay in, I read my book, then realized it was pancake day so we had pancakes 😀
Then when we were about to settle in for the rest of the day I remembered I was supposed to be going to the bank for some cash for work. We hastily dressed, me in running clothes Willow in jeans and out we went. Got the money went to work, handed it through the window and waved Willow off in the car.
Walked out to the main road, crossed jogged up the short steep hill to get away from the main road as settled in to a very slow steady pace, it’s dull and grey but the drizzle has almost stopped, left then right then along a bit. I’ve forgotten earbuds and tissue so once my breathing had settled down all i could hear was me sniffing, feet hitting the pavement and the odd seagull.
I was slowly plodding on and really beginning to enjoy myself. We haven’t run much lately but it still feels good, even rather full of pancakes and without music. I head for home and as I run towards the front door Garmin registers 2.5k so I’m happy, it’s just over 1k from work to home hence the round the houses a bit. I saw lots of daffodils, some hellebores and green shoots coming through in various gardens.
Perfect 😍 Happy Shrove Tuesday all
