I was out for the count again last night… an amazing sleep until someone woke me up to ask what time I was going running!!?! To be fair he was only 5 minutes before the alarm. 😆

I felt exhausted but I got up and was out the door by 5.45am.

I was both terrified and excited when we set off. I knew we were going for 7kms.

It was just Claire, Lynsey and I this morning.

It was a beautiful start to the day. The next few photos are Claire’s…..

I don’t carry my phone when I run…. It just adds to my weight 😆

I had a really good run. I struggled, I find it really hard but I love it at the same time. I had to walk a couple of times to try to regulate my breathing but my head was strong. Despite being behind the girls for a fair bit of the way, I’m telling myself I CAN when I feel like I can’t. I managed to run up a couple of hills that I thought I’d never do. To be fair the girls are a great support talking me through it.

They ran back to me at the end to let me finish “first!”….. by the time I finished my heart rate hit a high of 180 as I tried to push through to the end!

The stone was lovely and cool on my face 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

Here we all are….

I don’t even have a red face in that photo but trust me… I was BEETROOT!!!

The sweat was pouring out of me by the time I got in but I only had a half hour to get showered and out the door for work. I love the cold shower!!

I checked my stats when I got to work.

While I know this is the longest distance I’ve run…. It’s also the fastest pace.

I am sooooo proud of myself. ♥️

If you’d told me I’d be able to run this distance….and love it at the same time… I’d never have believed you!

I’m so pleased with the splits but you can see where the hills kick in!

It was a lovely morning but the rain moved in just after lunch and it was torrential on the drive home. Such a difference from last night where I sat outside in the sun until 8.30pm!

Tonight I’m wrapped up in my cozy comfies, in a blanket in front of the tv.

I made a lovely dinner again. Spicy tofu with oyster mushrooms on a wrap

It was really tasty.

So not much else to report….. oh apart from Craig took Calaidh to Portencross today, in between jobs and captured her and the PS Waverley in the distance…. It made my day! I’ll try to link to it here….

I can’t but I’ve linked it to this FB page and it’s the last post.
