The good:

-celebrating 4 years of a happy marriage today! 😍

-17s off my PB!!!! (You heard me!!)πŸ‘ŠπŸ½

-Another 25mins under my belt

- -4lb on my first slimming world weigh in πŸ™ŒπŸ½

The bad:

-Gosh it was hot out!

-Because I’d run round a minute quicker at approx half way, the run felt endless!!! I felt like I shouldn’t have many more minutes to go, but I did!!

- Although I was far quicker, after half way I was DYING! No amount of snailing could make up for it.

-two lots of πŸ–•πŸ½πŸ–•πŸ½ for my hill today.

The ugly:

- That would be me post run and turning up to my SW weigh in! Dripping and gross πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ hey ho! 😏

Overall....a very very tough run. Barely ran til the end and I may have stopped 2s before I should have! (Don’t tell MJ) but such a BUZZ having pushed hard and achieved such a good time!

Happy running folks πŸƒπŸΎβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΎβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΎβ€β™€οΈ

You’ll be ok, he used to slack off... other 200m runners did an extra second or two.

There's some weird trend developing here. It'll end up with us running as many miles as we have years on our birthday or something equally daft....

Congratulations on every level! I’m sure you started running 2 seconds too early didn’t you? So the 2 at the end were unnecessary! 😈

Lovely photo, and happy anniversary! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
