W8R1: Ditching Monday Blues!

[Jazzyjeff11]

A busy weekend (and a lot of gin on Friday) led to my planned rest day turning in to three! That's never happened before and I was feeling pretty bad about it. So I went out today and here's what happened:

1km in: Oh, give me strength. I'm like a fish out of water. Cannae breathe. Think I'm gonna die.

2km: Slow and steady wins the race. I'll wonder if I'll see my pal from last week. Excellent song. Why do my trousers keep falling down? Oh well, at least I can breathe again.

3km: Heck. I'm usually turning back by now. Two tiny hills. Wipe sweat. Hoist trousers. Wipe sweat.

4km: I am the best. Running is the best. This is the best.

5km: Shouts incredibly loudly 'YES. GET IN!' like a crazy football fan. Millican says it's over. 'I'm walking on sunshine!'

Absolutely bloody marvellous.

Thank you 😊. The gin certainly helped me to rest my legs....for the entirety of Saturday 😳. Maybe I'll have some again once week 9 is over. Enjoy your week 😊
