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😊❀🌢

Glad ours is not the only house where earphones are like gold dust, I've taken to hiding mine...

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

Lovely isn't it? What did surprise me was the fact I could speak back!πŸ˜€ I felt like I was really struggling but I managed to string a sentence together!!! W1, one word would have been nigh on impossible πŸ™„πŸ˜‚
