(Monday) Well, I did look pretty stupid but having washed and donned my amazing orange sports kit then added a plastic bag I set off on yesterday's run. It didn't go too badly. The sound of the pinto's hooves, Rocksta, Doug, King of Pugs, the ocarina and bugles guided me in the right direction to the end. Plus, the bag on the head obviously rendered me invisible to all dog walkers because I didn't get knocked over again. Phew!

Until tomorrow - follow the pinto!

Yes, you see, I'm not infallible. My full title will be, until I next change my mind - The Supreme Leader of God's Own County and All Surrounding Outposts. Possibly a bit lengthy so may be altered soon.

Glad you managed to stay upright, but I hope this doesn't give you ideas for the triathlon for the discombobulated, running for 30 minutes with a plastic bag on my head really doesn't appeal - especially in the heat. I ran for 32 minutes today - longest since end of March. Woopdedoo.

dozzer19 profile image
dozzer19Graduate in reply tolizziebeth57

Many congrats - a definite woopdedoo! Possibly a hooded swim today because running certainly was hot.

lizziebeth57 profile image
lizziebeth57Graduate in reply todozzer19

Hooded swim quite dangerous these next few weeks, no danger of dogs but kids are on school holidays so danger of being submerged by floats and jumped on if I don't have access to 360 degree vision. What about a nice swimming cap - with white daisies? Still need my goggles as I canna see underwater (or swim for that matter) without them. Am planning on going at the end of this week for a practise.

dozzer19 profile image
dozzer19Graduate in reply tolizziebeth57

Undecided about bag on head - maybe I'll cut a hole in the front and have it like Green Arrow's hood. I reckon if it coordinates with the onesie I might pull it off. Good luck with the swimming.
