Back on track with my blogging! It's Sunday and me and Naggy went for a run! We had to! We didn't do parkrun yesterday! I was feeling in the need of a duvet morning! I so needed it! So to make up for it.........well actually, it's a blimmin necessary thing, So I decided to run this afternoon. I bumped into Naggy and told her that I was going to go for a run! Well, it turns out that she could join me so we made plans to go at 3.30.
We normally would have taken the car and drove to Normans park and go round and round the park. But today we decided to just run from our green, just over 3 and half miles, it turns out, but it had to be done.
I had my music ready, Garmin poised to record my route and Naggy and Benji, ready to set the pace! We turned on all our gadgets and then started our run. At first, as we were getting warmed up we were not that far apart and could probably hold a conversation (if I could answer her that is) I ran to keep up with Naggy, I know she was not running as fast as she usually did, but I was still struggling! I was pleased with Benji had to stop for his 'comfort break' "Just run your pace" she said, "We will always catch up to you, and you will catch up to us with the many poo and wee stops" She said! I was quite pleased with that. I got into my own stride after that and relaxed a bit!
Naggy stopped at various places on our route, Benji obviously didn't need that many poo and wee stops that I could catch them up and over take them! Our route was through the park near us, the tractor park, as the kids call it, then we ran out the other side of the park and then along the road until the A21! A lovely road! Oh my goodness, when I was training for the marathon I ran this road quite a lot! Have I told you that I ran a marathon, two in fact, the Virgin London Marathon.....oh I have, ok! So anyway we ran to the A21 and turned right (thankfully!) and ran towards Crown Lane. Our route is only going to be just over a parkrun, so it will be straight down Southborough and then through our local park!
All the way, Naggy in front just running so easy or so it seems, Benji looking like he was just out for an afternoon Sunday stroll....oh hang on...he was! And me, struggling to keep up but actually enjoying myself! Weirdly!
So, another boring blog, but so blimming pleased I have another entry in my blog diary! For twelve years I have been blogging! Some have been amusing, some have been tear jerkers, some have been completely off the wall! But most of them..... no, no, all of them have been with me saying or intimating "I am so glad I did that!" Thanks Naggy for coming with me!
Geeky stats
