...............you never know what you're gonna get.

Having not run since Saturday, as my legs were a bit achy, I set off with the intention of just running, taking it easy. Well I started off well and settled into a good rhythm, I was just flying along, and when I realised that I'd covered the first 4k in a good time I upped my pace and managed a PB of 5K in 29:46.

Now can I repeat this at Parkrun on Saturday!

Well done on the PB!

Can I just say I do know what I'm getting with the box of chocs as I cheat and look at the crib sheet (though it then takes me ages to make up my mind whether to have a nutty or caramelly one, maybe I should just plunge in!).

It's a quote from that great movie Forrest Gump, who also was a runner!

Yeah, I know, I was just being silly and you didn't write it in the right accent!

There's no coffee creams in Roses any more, just as well as we're now told not to feed them to the dog!

Brilliant run Betty! I shall watch out to see how your parkrun goes - all the best!

I've just (5 minutes ago) eaten my last Valentine's choc. :(

But it's Mother's Day soon! :) And no, Dale, you can't have the coffee creams. They are all MINE!
