6.6 miles out and back on my favourite former railway. A bit breezy coming back and drizzle off and on but was good - especially in retrospect!!

Back to work. Not a good start. WFH. Wi-Fi issues with laptop so have had to come into office :)

Two weeks off and 350 emails and meetings scheduled for today. Joy.

That was meant to be a :( face

Also means no social Tuesday run.

Have done 2 dog walks - 3 dogs and 5.5 miles in the wind and rain. Feeling weary - why does the wind make you feel like that?

Am really missing my dog walks - cleaning doesn't have the same effect but the house is nearly done 🙄

Heading home for a while tomorrow

Keep Plodding On
First proper day out on new bike today to work and back (41 miles in total)

It was nice to actually be able to get some exercise, but it’s not running 😁

I agreed to go running with the local group at 7pm. We are now down to me and one other guy who is a fast runner. I told him he’d have to run slowly with me so he’d need to wrap up warm, hoping he might bail and then I could too but he said he’s up for a run whatever weather or pace so I guess I’d better show up.

I've finally finished at the studio. Got a few projects I'm working on and my brain is a bit dead. I'm going to have a little plod when I get home then eat all the leftover pizza from last night :-)

Traffic back from Wakefield was hideous - 57 minutes to get there, nearly 2 hours to get back. :-P A run will help the brainz.

In the end 2 other runners turned up, the second is even faster than the first. Poor guys, having to plod around with me, they were very gracious and stayed with me even when I said they could run on and stretch their legs so long as they came back at some point. Another local 5k in the bag.

Well done Paula, and well done to the fellas who ran with you. Clubs are sometimes guilty of not being inclusive.

I runned, it was well windy.
