Can't believe I just said that!

Got up thismorning to my scheduled run.. wasn't sure yet whether to go for 30 mins or try for another 5k...

Knew heavy rain was forecast .. So just got on with putting on the gear.. ..deliberating.. still waking up properly after packing the three boys off to college and school...

Hubby off work today..so he's in shower by the time I've eventually decided to go..

I shout through the shower room.. bye babe.. I'm away for a wee 5k before breakfast!!!

Lol It made me laugh along the way.. who would have thought it? As if it's just something natural.. he he he.. but it's now been 4 times..so... maybe I will get to say it a bit more often :)

Was a slow one although it didn't really matter.. just wanted that distance again.. make sure my legs know I mean business for up coming RFL..

Home from work now.. had my soup and a rest.. feeling back a bit achy.. I must get my head up while I run..!!!

It's great isn't it - "just popping out for a quick (or slow) 5k"

Things I never thought would come out of my mouth!

Brilliant isn't it? Things like "Im just doing my normal 5k" or "I'll probably try for 10k today" or "It's my long run today, but I think it'll only be 6k". I love it - and then when you come back "hurray, another personal best" (doesn't happen that often!).
