Amazing what adrenalin does

Last Friday I was doing my week 4 run 3 run. Got a call from the wife at the furthest point of the route from my car.She had been stung by a hornet and has reacted badly in the past to the little blighter's. End up doing a 12 minute mercy dash back to the car without stopping!

Wife is OK now and I'm actually looking forward to Week 5 Run 3
