Just say No! To the Gremlins πŸ˜„

Those gremlins must have been sitting on my head all night while I was asleep because as soon as I woke up early before work, they were shouting in my ear. You can go at lunch, they said. You can go after work, they said. But I knew I wouldn’t, and I have no idea how, but I managed to shake them off! πŸ˜„

Anyway, a 5k this morning. It was still fairly dark when I got up, but getting a bit lighter when I went out. It was pretty misty, though, so I wore my reflective vest thing, and off I went.

It was really just another run today, had meant to go yesterday but I did something to my shoulder and didn’t want it jarring so today it was.

I hope everyone has a smashing day! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜Šβœ…πŸ€©

Thank you! I tend to go faster on the shorter runs, I can just about keep it up πŸ‘. My 1 year runniversary will be in November, and I’m going to try and do 5k in under 30 mins on the day. The route will be downhill and as flat as poss! I think I did something in the gym to the shoulder, much better today though hurrah! Have a great day Sparky 😊😊😊.

I’ve a painful rib cage and shoulder that kept me awake last night. Woke up late and had to take painkillers, which is so not me

Feeling better now after moving about in the garden all morning. I’ve got a run today and tomorrow 🀨.

I think I pulled it on my plot struggling with the mower pull cord 😀
