When being a Negative Nancy is a good thing 😁

[Frenc]

Hurrah, for the first time in a while I achieved some pretty decent negative splits 😁🤩. I needed 4.6k this morning to reach my 30k goal for the week, but decided at the last minute to make it a nice round 5k. It’s a brill start to the day - I’m working, hence the silly early start. Having said that, I saw a fair few other runners which I wasn’t expecting - I’d assumed any sane person would still be in bed at 6am on a Saturday morning. But fair play! They were up and at it.

The sky was lovely and dappled with clouds and I could see the sun trying to peek through. Like me, it probably needed another cup of coffee. I think the best thing (fingers crossed) about today is my toothache is subsiding thanks to some antibiotics. I’ve been in agony pretty much all week and not too fun to be around. Will see the dentist fairly soon, but I hate to think what he’ll need to do. For now, pain free is just bliss 😊. Have a smashing day all!

Oooh yes it was. Sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps me going! Thank you! 😊

Wow look at you speedy Gonzales at 6am!

That's a brilliant time Frenc,is that a PB?

Mine is 32 mins for a 5K 👏

Glad your toothache is easing at last 🙏

Have a good day 🏃‍♀️💥💪

Hello Sparky, not a PB, but it’s the fastest I’ve done in a while! I was sort of hoping for some kind of PB, like the fastest metre ever run, but no such luck 🤣. Honestly 6am is the perfect time to run, it’s so quiet! Ah, who am I trying to kid, I’d much rather do it a bit later, but needs must 😆. Hope you’re having a smashing Saturday, weather is lovely where I am. 🔆

What’s not to like in that wonderful run. Well done Frenc. Even the thought of getting out of bed at that time is too much 😂

Thank you! It really is mind over matter, although I’m amazed I haven’t gone out with my sports bra on my legs and my leggings on my head yet. I sort of sleepwalk out the door 🤣.

Oh your poor thing! Can’t think of anything worse 😩😬

I hope you’re better soon 👍🙂
