B210k week2 run3 completed

and for the first time in ages it felt like I was running instead of just dragging my feet along!!! 😁

Maybe it was because it was earlier, or cooler…. Or maybe because I have been told to double my BP tablets now and have taken them for the last 3 days …. Apparently it’s quite high again ( had my annual review this week and they weren’t happy with the readings) so that might have been why I felt like I was running through treacle. Now I have to take readings morning and night and enter them via a hyperlink for a week.

Either way I was pleased with today , feeling better than I have in ages and enjoying my run rather than just praying for it to be over. Saw a little bunny and a family of baby rats playing on the green 🤢…. And all in all it was a lovely morning run. Looking forward to starting week3 now … honestly I am 😳.

Now I’m cooling off again, having showered, and trying to psych myself up to moving tomato plants around in my greenhouse to make room. … and it is so hot in there !!!

It’s so nice when that happens! You know you’ve got to do the tough ones for the nice ones to come back, but it’s not much fun!

Long may those lovely runs continue…and more baby bunnies!!

Yes I’m hoping I’ll start loving my runs again rather than desperately waiting for them to end

Oh my!! It was so hot in that greenhouse I had to keep coming out every 5 mins to cook down. I have the tomato plants in half grobags on their ends and they were on half pallets, up on concrete blocks. It makes it less bending when I am overwintering stuff and planting seeds, potting on plants etc. but it’s too high when the toms are growing so I had to move all 24 bags outside then, lift the pallet halves, then move the breeze blocks, sweep and put the pallets back. For 3 pallets!! Then lug the bags back in, stale them and water everything. Then collapse in a sunlounger for the rest of the day.

Every year I say I won’t have so many plants I had 38 last year and had to plant some outside!! But then I haven’t got the heart to scrap the seedlings when they come up. I grow them from slices , from a punnet of mixed colours , and give some away too.
