stumble, twist and [nearly] fall...

[Bxster]

it's been one of those days, too much to do and little time to do it. Determined to get the Wk6 r2 in though. So home a 1900, quick change, snapped the ankle viz strips on and off out into the dark. Decided to stick to the main road between villages rather than lanes.

Really odd in the dark, oncoming headlights a nightmare as ruin night vision. First 10 was prity good, just measured roughly with mapmyrun and I think I've run about 0.7 of a mile in 10 mins that's not too bad going I think

Second 10 slower, 2 reasons - smokers chest finding it tough, I've smoked too much today (sat here coughing - this I know is not good) and other reason I took a stumble twisting ankle a bit, nothing too bad but had to weave about a bit 'Matrix' style to stay upright and keep moving lol

Chuffed I persevered but am quite tired. Still one more job to do - there's a 7 year old little girl who needs her Auntie Becky to ice and decorate a cake to be Hello Kitty for her birthday tea tomorrow off to cover myself and the kitchen in icing sugar

PS no one mention wk6 r3

Bxster, are you smoking less as you get further into this programme? I've been free of the habit for 8 years now and suspect it would have been much harder to do this running had I still been a heavy smoker.

Enjoy tomorrow and hope you get a slice of that cake, sounds like you deserve it.

Ooh yes, you can treat yourself to a lovely slice of cake without feeling at all guilty.

Matrix style - now that's an interesting image

Good on you for running in the dark, must be quite weird I'd imagine, but well done for getting it done. Hope the ankle is ok now. My w6r2 is tomorrow, undecided whether to do it outside or on treadmill, will decide in the morning.

Happy birthday to your niece for tomorrow
