W7R1 done.... It was also quite eventful.... Long and maybe a little too much detail for some

So I decide to run a little later than normal, it's ok but the sun was quite low making it difficult to see.... More on that in a minute.... So Sarah announces I'm 5 minutes in, it's going ok, I mean, I think I am sounding like a pig playing a kazoo but it's probably not that bad.... In any case I wear noise cancelling ear buds so it's someone else's problem.

As I'm running I get a faint notion I have an itch... In a rather personal place....I try to run a little faster... No good....I add a little bounce into my step.... Still no go....I try to think of other things but it's getting worse. Finally I try a sort of mincing trot, all I've done now is made it worse. I figure the only thing for it is to have a wee scratch... Not so easy on a busy canal path by the Falkirk wheel.

By now I'm sure I'm nearly half way but the app sometimes crashes on me so I think I'll leave it a bit.... My plan was to turn at the halfway point and grab a crafty scratch.... Rubbing the outside of my gear hasn't helped so it's going to have to be a proper job.... I'm getting more frustrated by the lack of Sarah announcing halfway so I give in. I check ahead, the sun's in my eyes but I can't see anyone, so down the shorts I go... By now I'm a tad frustrated, it's been a tough day at work and here I am in public hand down my shorts yelling 'come on Sarah you b*tch' when I round a gentle curve and run, almost literally, into a genteel aged hiking group, who like a crafty spitfire squadron came out of the sun's glare.... Not my finest hour.... But didn't matter because I still completed another 25 minutes!

Can't help but think you're trying to document your defence before plod knock on your door.

In the words of Francis Urquhart You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment.....

Lol I'm in tears. 😂

Why do these embarrassing things happen to us while we're running. For me it's the old knickers gone up in my bum and believe me when I say I dislike thongs. So waiting for the right moment to dislodge that material to its correct position without stopping must be a hilarious moment for anyone secretly watching.

You did the run anyway and so well done to you.

Thanks Donna.... People can be so judgy.....😁😁 Of course, now when I run I'm going to be thinking about what it must be like in a thong..... Good luck with the programme!
