What was I thinking!

I have just invented a new colour Ultra-Magenta, it goes some way towards describing the colour of my face right now. It's hot and stuffy (it feels like I am breathing marshmallows). So I decided it was time for a run 😱. I just ran 5K in 39 minutes 15 seconds πŸŽ‰ I know many of you out there would class that as a walk in the park, which it probably is for some of you, but it's my first time running 5K and I am ridiculously proud of myself. Celebrating with a jam donut was probably not the best idea but it tasted sooooo good ☺️. Ever onwards πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒ

There aren't usually donuts in the house but our son is home from university and, as an indulgent mother, the house is stocked with goodies.

Just like my wife's face at Parkrun running with 2 other ladies, they all finished together, and all had purple faces with purple t shirts, the ribena trio! πŸ˜‚

tsk! tsk!

About 220 calories in the doughnut, a good part of what you burnt off! nice though occasionally!😊

Well done Bundoodle , I think almost everyone of us would class 5k in 39 minutes as exceptional :)

It's much cooler now but I am very glad I went earlier, I would not like to be running in the thunderstorm we are having at the moment 🌩⚑️

A 5k at 39min/km is just as far as a 5k at 15min/km, so don't talk down your achievement, Bundoodle. And celebrating with a jam donut sounds like perfectly acceptable way of marking such a momentous event. Well done :)

Thankyou! Today it's back on the healthy (healthier) eating but the donut was fantastic!
