That was a shocking tragedy MM :-(

I had the dentist this morning and a leaving do for a friend who works for one of the arts companies I often do workshops for tonight.

No track for me tonight so I headed to the cricket pitch and round round that instead. Not only was it lovely and sunny but I managed to go sub 7 min miling for all of my 12 x 90 seconds intervals. I'm glad I walked the 30 sec recoveries as that was bloody hard. Was ace though.

Afternoon all, I'm lucky enough to have some just cooked brownies to help me recover from my run :)

Staying in the lakes for a couple of days overlooking Windermere. Last leg of the birthday celebrations with some walking planned.

Back to running at the weekend.

Made it to Nuuk. Only 5 days late.

Minor panic as baby called right as we were boarding (for the second time) to tell me he was at the hospital with OH who had cut himself! My first question was: was it an accident? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Fortunately, in the words of Monty Python: it's only a flesh wound! Some glue should do the trick but if it opens he is to go back for stitches.

Just as well I wasn't there or they would have had to call an ambulance when I fainted ๐Ÿ˜‚. Not good with blood, me.

Phew!

Oh and yes, it was an accident. He was doing the recycling and grabbed some broken glass.

(After my last trip to Nuuk, it was a reasonable question to ask and had the answer been no, I would have turned straight round, obviously.)

Hope everyone is keeping well. Haven't been on here much but seen there have been some great runs, fitting tributes and exciting events planned.

Belated birthday greetings to ageingtractor too
