To be honest the drama started last night...there I was browsing the SB sale ( again) because I was sucked in by another email. Anyway hubby caught me looking and said if you want them get them. This dear reader, despite appearances, is not a good thing! It can only mean one thing. He is contemplating a purchase that he knows will get him in trouble- so that’s either a guitar or a car. He’s forever trading up and down with wheels and strats. And I thought I had married a teacher not Del Boy! Anyway I digress...not to look a gift horse in the mouth, some leggings fell in basket ... but by the time I had got to checkout they were gone 🙁I was resigned to not getting any having conveniently forgotten that a couple of things may have already fallen in the basket on Monday- (Del Boy doesn’t know this!)
Anyway went to bed relatively early ready for this morning’s run, but made the fatal mistake of checking my phone. Another email from SB- leggings in the sale - the pair I had wanted! Reader I bought them...or so I thought. Got all the way to checkout and payment and then when it reloaded - £0 - tried again same thing- someone had beat me to it just at the last minute - it was like missing out on eBay when someone puts a last minute bid in. So I went back and saw that a different pair had become available in my size - this is meant to be I thought- checked out, nothing happened. I must admit at this point I suspected that Boo Alto was lurking in the site at the same time! 😜 One final try, it said one pair left. Checkout fingers crossed... dramatic pause ( the website not me) - success!! Woohoo. No confirmation email. Oh well I’ll check in the morning.
By this time my early night had become rather late. I was reading everyone’s posts and they were so inspiring I thought that I would still try and get up for my run if I woke up in time - as you know I refuse to use alarms. Well I woke at 6, got myself sorted and out there. Not nearly as windy as Monday and I set off on a potential 5K route. Listened to a great podcast from Claudia Winkleman and Prof Tanya - I’ve always fancied myself as an armchair psychiatrist- really you say- I thought you were Jane Austen !! I didn’t really get into my groove until about 15 mins, my breathing was quite heavy and I slowed down - maybe I have always been Darth Vader but my playlists drowned it out before. So I gritted it out and did 5K in 37 mins which seems to be my average at the moment. And dare I say it, these weekly 5Ks are becoming a bit more comfortable- only a bit but I feel I’m making progress. Just wait till my SB stuff arrives - there’ll be no stopping me. As Beetroot says all the gear no idea!! 🤣🤣
PS- Still no email but it has appeared in ‘my orders’ so hopefully new cropped leggings are on their way! Disclaimer- I do not work for SB ( omg imagine the staff discount !!)
Have a great day everyone
A little breezier ... ;)
That’s Week 6 done, just!
Back to the canal towpath 
Gait analysis done - glad I did!
