Definitely a beautiful morning.

I'm normally out of the door by 6.30am at the latest but didn't even wake up today! Maybe it was the overindulgence, food not drink, yesterday. Sweet potato fries , excellent veggie burger, nachos, cheese and the highest sugar content honeycomb ice cream sundae in the world! It's the first real blow out I've had since I started C25K and boy was I suffering at bedtime 😳 This morning I thought I would feel like I was running in lead boots 😱 It took me till 7.40 to get out of the house but I've had a really good run. There was a lovely breeze coming off the water keeping me cool, the sun was shining and after the first km was out of the way I found my stride, probably for the first time ever and maintained it for the rest of the run. I've just checked my run stats and I'm nearly there - 4.81km 😀😀 still slow took me 45 minutes but I'm really pleased with myself. I really can't do speed though, every time I try to go faster my leg hurts 😁 Guess it will come eventually. By the way poppypug it wasn't footloose that made me wave my arms in the air - it was Robbie Williams again, when he tells me to move my body I really do just have to jump, terrifying for passers-by! 😀

Sounds wonderful OP - you deserved a lie in. Very soon be up to the 5k and speed really couldn't matter less!

[lightweightkate Graduate]

Well done for getting out there and also sounded like a great run - it was a lovely morning 😄

[ju-ju- Graduate]

Well done... And interesting tag!!!

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

That tag comes up when someone puts the word blow in a sentence a strange connection if ever there was one

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to MichaelH070862]

Blow is an old school street name fore Coke.

Or so I was told. Once. A long time ago. By someone 😬

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

I thought that might be the case but didn't want to reveal knowledge than was prudent

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to MichaelH070862]

Hmmmm - was it you that Johnny Depp played in that Movie of the same Title?

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Alas it twas not but I now know how I heard the term so thank you for that movie reference

[OldPossum in reply to ju-ju-]

I hadn't even noticed! Maybe that's why I had a good run. Doesn't Irish-John often get tagged with heroin 😀😀

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

I noticed it when lightweightkate said she was puffing and blowing quite disconcerting really the casual reader would think there is a druggies convention carrying on

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to MichaelH070862]

Maybe Laura is a Major Pusher as a side job? 😅

[OldPossum in reply to Irish-John]

😂😂😂

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

Nope - it started when I posted that I am becoming "disgustingly healthy, I no longer smoke, drink or chase women and now I am running - thank god for Heroin!"

Next thing they are trying to turn me into a Coke head Lol 😯

[McFitty Graduate]

Ha ha Irish-John is sharing that cocaine tag around like it's going out of fashion! Your run sounds sublime OP and even better for having a nice lie in I now have a real craving for honeycombe ice cream

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to McFitty]

Please - Coke is so yesterday🙄 Scorpion Pee is what us Hipsters inhale now 😝

[OldPossum in reply to Irish-John]

Ooh yuk - think I'd rather have a cup of tea 😀

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

Is that what they call Meth 'round your way then?

[OldPossum in reply to McFitty]

It was very nice ice cream with huge chunks of honeycomb and drizzled with chocolate and toffee sauce mmmmm 😀 Next time think I might just have dessert🙃

I am doing penance now though - burning it all off scrubbing the hen house 😬
