Fun times in MK

[Katiepops]

Finally did the half that I should’ve done before lockdown1! Lots of smiles out and about on the streets in MK today. I’ve now visited parts of the town (or is it a city?) that I’ve never seen before, including a lovely little village with oldy worldy thatch cottages and a pretty church - who knew?! Anyway, I had goals; beat 2:30, be less than an hour behind my OH, beat at least 1 club runner and not be too far behind the first marathoner when we got back to the stadium.

How did it go? I hear you all ask!

2:26!!!! - so chuffed.

The OH did it in 1:34 so I was inside the hour.

My club chum did it in 2:30

The first Marathon runner came in at…….2:29

4/4😊

I used my discount to treat myself to new trainers and pigged out on brioche, crisps, banana milk and coffee. All following a bout of stomach cramps which had me walking at mile 11🙄. Now getting ready for my roast dinner (postponed from yesterday so I could carb load it a bit!)

As Del Boy said to Rodney - “I’ve had worse days”!

Hope you all had a good one too.😊
