To run or not to run!

Imagine the scene - curled up in a comfy chair with a good book in front of a log fire. The wind driven rain lashing against the windows. TC calls to me from the kitchen door to ask if I want anything from town as he is popping out. OK I yell, give me 2 minutes.

"You must be mad" was the comment as I arrived at the car in running kit.

"I thought you could drop me near the main road and I will run home" was my reply.

A short run of 3km, but better than no run at all was my logic.

Now back home, showered and waiting for the kettle to boil for a cup of tea then back to fire, chair and book. Bliss!

I like your style. And an excellent idea to run home J

Sounds like the best of both worlds :-) now you can enjoy your book and cosy chair by the fire in true contented joy!

Well done for getting out there in the rain! I don't mind getting out in a bit of drizzle, and I don't mind if it pours down after I've started a run as I'm always baking hot within minutes but I'm not sure I could start a run like that. Maybe in the summer...!

Bliss indeed and the smugness of knowing you got your run done and dusted. Well done !!

Great way to enjoy all the luxury and yet feel guilt free. Totally agree with your way of thinking.

What a brilliant idea - might do that myself as it creates a different route! Simple but quite brilliant!

Run is always better than no run, and the chair is comfier, the fore cosier and the book more satisfying for having done it. Good work.

fire not fore. Jellified legs have transferred to fingers somehow.
