A nice bank hol run 🏃🏻‍♀️

[Frenc]

I meant to do this run yesterday, but I wussed out! I just wanted a nothing day - no commitments, and general slothing, so that done, I knew I had to head on out this morning instead.

Anyway, I’m glad I did as there was a triathlon on the go and for a while I was accompanied by lots of bikes whizzing past in the opposite direction. It felt like a bit of company, and I cheered them on as I ran. Towards the end of my run in a country lane a family had put up a load of bunting in the trees - I assume they were waiting for a family member to go past so they could cheer them on. I did what any self respecting person would do and pretended it was for me! 🤣

So many people out today, triathlon notwithstanding. A family had taken their horse box up to Farley Mount, and out came a pony all saddled up waiting for the children to have a ride. And gazillions of not triathlon cyclists, quite a few runners, and people in general.

I am super pleased with this run! I took it super slow and felt I had a bit more in the tank, but I had 17k in my head, so 17k it was.

I hope everyone has a smashing bank holiday! 😊

It’s so nice to have slothing officially validated - I hope you’ve managed to fit some in this weekend too 🤣.

I'm very good at it when it's a cold bleak day, can easily go back to bed with coffee and book, but not this weekend... It's a manic time with bees if I'm to prevent them swarming.

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Mormor1]

Ah yes, I see what you mean! 🐝🐝🐝

That sounds like fun, I love seeing people out and about, horse box too 😀 mind you, it’s a long way so you had a super work out

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

That's such an eventful route you took 😁So many people out enjoying their day .. sounds great fun..

And you ran 17K , so well done.. sorry just seen this, not been on coz I'm sulking 🤣

But I think I'm on the mend and hopefully be out by the weekend 🙏

You must have been chuffed to get that distance... 🏃‍♀️👏🎉

Hope it was a good one 😊

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Thanks Soarky! You made me chuckle, I hope you aren’t still sulking - I know that feeling well 🤣. Mind you, I’ve been feeling pretty rubbish myself the last few days, even left work a bit early yesterday. I really enjoyed this run, just praying I can keep hold of whatever it is that pushed me on. I really hope you get out this weekend, you need to try your new shoes out 😊!
