I managed to find an hour this afternoon where I wasn't required by anyone πŸ‘ . Sun was shining wind wasn't blowing ( much), all in all a perfect day for a runπŸ˜€ So I got changed, put my tissues in my pocket, got my shoes πŸ‘  on, phone was recharged, last sip off coffee( oops I mean waterπŸ˜‚) went to grab my earphones......aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh, some toe rag of a child of mine seems to have borrowed themπŸ™„Was I going to let that stop me? ..... I pondered for a couple of minutes whilst finishing my cof....water πŸ˜‰.

I've got a stopwatch on my phone, I thought, easy😁

So of I went, I did miss Laura though πŸ™ I kept telling myself she was with me in spirit 😁

So my music today was birdsong πŸ‘ And me huffing and puffing πŸ˜‚

As I was struggling with the second 10 minutes I was approaching a gent,2 ladies and a dog. I could see him glancing at me and wondered whyπŸ€” I might be sweaty, but not scary πŸ˜‰

When I passed them he said something to me......" well done lass, more power to your elbow! " I can't tell you what a boost that gave me, I positively glided to the endπŸ‘

Aren't people nice😊❀🌢

Ha chargers, yes! And yet, funnily, their phones are always 'out of charge' when they are awol despite them having been bought portable chargers!!!

Yes they are! I meet lovely people on my runs too. A smiley face always helps, even a thumbs-up from a fellow runner

Great well done you, it's lovely when people acknowledge you. There's been one couple I've passed about 3 times in the last 3 runs now we're starting to have some banter on passing :D
