W5R3 smashed - with additional Fairy power!

Well, it wasn't the most auspicious preparation to W5R3. A particularly fiddly cake kept me up way past midnight as it had to be delivered first thing (4 year olds are SO demanding nowadays). But I was up at 6.30 and ready - although more nervous than I'd been about any run.

But I think Tinkerbell may have sprinkled some of her fairy dust on me because I really, really enjoyed it :-) All that worrying for nowt!!

Roll on the much maligned Week 6

Thank you, yes I did. It's my hobby and passion - as well as running now obviously! Well chuffed with myself - I actually prefer running to walking now :-)

You clever girl. I'm jealous - my marzipan endeavours look like infant school play dough men. AND a successful run. You are the cat's pyjamas. :D
