#fb Fascinating ginger bagpipes, sitting on my lap and sounding off at the slightest squeeze. Her bedtime methinks…
,Are you sure there’s no chicken stock left.
Oh Joy!
,A lovely sunny morning today, with oases of cool in the shade on the hilly climb up to Mijas Pueblo. Wasn’t sure I’d be up for this today due to the continued sexual antics of our neighbours; whilst I admire their stamina and appetite, I need some sleep!
My goal is to try and get this run done in under an hour. Just need to push harder through the hills and take the scenery in on the hoof rather than use it an excuse for a breather. With 1200 ft of climb, over 6 miles it is a bit of a toughie for me.
Garden weather! :D
Five of us ran the FoD Half route this morning, starting early enough to catch sight of deer, buzzards and very few other people. It was -5 when we set off at 7.20, cold enough to give me harsh face-ache in the shade, but the temp. lifted a little and we managed the loop in 2hours 4 minutes. I removed the stops for a time of 1 hour 57 minutes which bodes well for the real event. Will try and do this again next week at some point and see of Sarah will chase me on her bike.
Such a sunny evening, I decided to run my Cut Throat Lane loop, and managed to shave just over 5 minutes off my best time, which was great. Haven’t run it in almost two months. Cut Throat Lane itself was still hard…
Great day for a run in the sunshine, although I started off shivering. Felt pretty relaxed and managed to trim just over 3 minutes off my best time, probably due to the lack of weather related obstacles today. Finished to It’s My Life from Talk Talk, which was appropriate. :D
This morning’s Chia Fresca!
Nice to get back to pilates today after a fortnight of half term and holiday. Took it easy as I am supposed to be resting, so didn’t rush, and it was good to run after two days off. Did a fair amount of abdominal work at the class so my #chirunning form was a little wobbly on the way home. :D
Chilled at the pool afterwards, no lengths today.
