(Almost) just like old times

On the 'just do it' principle, I started C25K wearing normal clothes and in walking boots. Today was supposed to be a run day. I usually put on my running stuff first thing but today I couldn't face being hot and then ending up not running after all (which I knew was a possibility today) so it was only the sport bra and then normal clothes. The dog needed her walk and I thought "Shall I change?" and then realised I'd probably just give up on everything by the time I'd changed and the dog would lose out. So just set out for a walk instead... and then on the riverside path I thought "No, I want to run now, not tomorrow morning" My active sandals are very comfortable. So off I went and it was great, polished off my 30 minutes so easily it was like it wasn't really happening. So there you have it - sandals, jeans, knit top. The funny thing is the dog gave me exactly the same "Have you gone completely mental?" look she gave me when we started C25K!

Dog thought she was only getting a walk cos you didn't have your running shoes on, the look said "You forgot your runners, we should be walking for goodness sake"!!!!!! ;) I did something similar when out with hubby one day as we came to one of the Ups in my favorite hills route, I took off shouting to him I'll catch you up. 5 minutes later I came around the corner and caught up with him again, he said "where were you" I just did my Ups and Downs circle, you can't have already was his reply but I had. Just like you, because I could :)
