Feeling good, day off from my crappy job 😉

While the house was quiet I wanted some me time and to escape into my last day of my 42nd year....and while I was running it stumped me because is this the last day of my 43rd year and I turn 43 tomorrow???  

Anyway....mind wandering, colly wobbles at around 7 mins so I slowed,  composed my breathing and carried on. Felt good, so good in fact that after my warm down walk and only getting to 3.85 I thought...how hard can getting to 5K be? 

Hmmm..yeah quite tough! 5K done in 49.10 and I was truly purple but chuffed! 

Happy Bank holiday weekend everybody 😀

Awesome!  "She may very well pass for 43 in the dusk with the light behind her" la la la.  (Sorry!).

Btw I wasn't implying anything! I'm sure you're a 9.5! Ha ha I don't think I can even remember being 43!
