Steve the gremlin was working overtime yesterday with his " you are too tired to go out tonight" and his " even your colleagues are saying you look tired" and he almost won when I got out of work into heavy sleet. 28 miles down the road at home though it was dry, cold but dry so I donned my kit & me, Michael Johnson & Peter Gabriel headed put into the night. OH was supposed to be walking with me but as he had a phone call just as we were leaving I went on ahead, I would meet him on my way back. Warm up walk was hampered a bit by traffic, I couldn't cross the road & the first run was great, 2nd run was good too but the 3rd run was on an incline and a bit more tricky & up popped Steve..."walk the last two minutes, no-one will know" well, a swift kick to his backside shut him up & then Michael was telling me the run was over..whoo hoo..nailed it!! How fabulous did I feel? Very is the answer. Looking forward to run 2 tomorrow & starting to think ahead to week and that lovely shiny badge 😊😊
