SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

Hi, my name is 'Sally', and I'm a graduate. I know I should know better, but you know how it is...

I accompanied my wife on her W4(?)R2* last night as a supportive husband does and then took her home and cooked a lovely Sirloin steak for her. I had a delicious bacon and egg sarnie. I then went to bed at gone midnight and rose at just after 6 to get our son to school. Then I made a mistake!!! I went for a run ~ oh dear me. Legs of lead, poor breathing, sore knee and any excuse I could find to walk and admire the scenery.

Next time, remind me, as I do to others, just how important rest days are, even for us 'know-it-all' grads!

* 5 walk followed by 3 run, 90 sec walk, 5 run, 2 1/2 walk repeated twice.

PS. Dartmoor is looking stunning with the river Avon tumbling along and the birds keeping the sheep and cattle company.

Ouch!! Hopefully only a minor setback.

My knee is feeling better already. A shame, because that means I now have no excuse for not finishing decorating the bathroom!

Oh dear. Wise words indeed. Hope you fully recover soon

That really is naughty you know. I've even started running naked because of you. You are supposed to know better. Who am I going to look to now eh?

I stand justly rebuked and bowed headed. SORRY!!

I have learnt my lesson, and I now ALWAYS take my rest days.

I am SOOOOO pleased that you run 'naked'; wonderful, isn't it? I have just bought some headphones to use in parks and when travelling, but when in the countryside...oh, nature is such a wonderful soundtrack to run and live by.
