Flowers for me today!

Three times a week, come rain (yes, honestly, I have even run in the rain) or shine, I go out for a 3.5 mile run through the fields surrounding our village. Up until now it’s been a very relaxed affair, with no pressure, just a little “me time”.

But recently I realised (with a bit of help from my quite competative husband David) that to take up to 45 minutes to run 3.5 miles is pretty pathetic. So, no more gentle jogging, no more taking time to smell the flowers - it’s serious!

I’ve been working really hard to get my time down to 35 minutes - which is a fairly acceptable 10 minute mile and today I did my best time ever - 33.36!
