What porky pies some of you have told!

You told me runners were invisible! Judging by a number of amused smiles as I jogged gently along the prom I had forgotten my invisibility cloak! BUT...

For the first time ever, I am not the slowest runner in the world!!! 😂 Yes there were several courageous ladies out there who were slower than me - and boy did I give them a big friendly smile!

Also...

First time my average pace was under 9 mins per Km & didn't once think " I want to stop".

Let 'em laugh - I'm happy. Penultimate run in the bag. 😀

Well done and are you sure they were smiles of amusement and not smiles of encouragement

Fabulous stuff! Well done!

Think of Mr Potter and friends- we can see each other but the non-runners, aka Muggles, that can’t see us!
