Miserable day, TM, much sympathy, days don’t get much worse than that, & more to LD (())

I’m cross with myself because while trying to look at my son’s WhatsApp msg I made it ring briefly, about 2am their time. Now I daren’t look again!

Eleven miles run today. I was a bit of an idiot, because I didn't set off till around midday. Crikey it was hot. When I got home my Garmin gave the temperature as 63 degrees fahrenheit. Slight technical adjustment with a hammer me thinks. It certainly felt a lot hotter than that.

It beggars belief. Part of my run took me through the Angmering Estate Woods. There are big signs there, stating among other things, about keeping dogs under control because of the deer. I hadn't gone a hundred yards into the woods when I came across a woman walking 5 "ankle snappers." Of course, none of them were on leads & two of them made a beeline for me. Luckily I out ran them. It does p**s me off.

I was going to run 13 miles, but because of the heat, I took a short cut home, especially as I had run out of water.

Have a nice weekend everyone, if that's possible in these troubled times. Fake parkrun on Sunday for me. Hopefully I'll come first, or is that last?
