Pi(e) and a bit of a run

[Yesletsgo]

Took it easy yesterday, lots of stuff to do around the house. I went to the local market and treated myself to cheese straws and spinach pies then boiled up Sunday's chicken carcase for some healthy soup. As I was about to serve the soup and cheese straws the doorbell rang. It was a belated birthday present from my sister, a hamper of Cornish pasties, clotted cream, scones etc, total surprise. So yesterday I ate way too much pastry (which was great )

Today it seemed like a good idea to have a run to make up for the overindulgence. Just 3k, nice and easy. Except that Monday's speed run seemed to put wings in my feet and I kept having to slow myself down as going fast wasn't the plan. Something about being out in the fresh air, the wind blowing in the right direction for a change, the warm sunshine, the spring flowers, all so intoxicating.

A slight detour halfway through meant that the 3k point was a bit short of where I usually stop, so I looked at the distance left and decided to round the run up to 3.14km, affectionately known as a pi run (maths nerd here )

The temptation to go fast was irresistible so I just went for it for the final 140 metres. Looking at the NRC app I saw 3.14 on screen so pressed stop. It read out my stats...3.15. So, pi and a bit, rather like yesterday's menu.

Oh, and I had the spinach pies for lunch, still looking forward to the scones. Just as well my running gear stretches 😂

🍏🤣Glorious photo! A bit of pie & pi and chicken soup is what makes life so worthwhile… add in a run where your legs feel light and ready to go & the world is yours! Well done.. the hard work of the previous speed run paid off! Xx

It's just so lovely out in the fields right now! The farmer has lots of wildlife strips so lots of plants and animals, it really lifts you. Full of the joys of spring even 😁

This should be titled, the Pie run? You had some tasty treats !!! Spinach pie... yummy.. scones and cream... oh yes!

I am going to have to make pies this weekend.

Oh yes, your run... very well done you! You may feel less like speed though, if you keep pie eating x
