Hello, hello, hello. Just got back from hols in sunny France, and very pleased to see you've all been keeping up the good work, despite the grimbo UK weather (yes, France was very sunny, thank you, isn't my tan lovely?).
Sorry to hear RL is giving you grief MABS and Fi; hope things pick up for you.
Well, I haven't been a complete potato; I managed a total of three runs while I was away. The first one wasn't a great success because dh and I got carried away and set off on a circuit which turned out to be seriously hilly and about 8k long. It turned into a lovely walk, though......
Then we found a lovely lake with a flat 1k circuit around it, and had a couple of great runs; firstly with my sister and BIL (who are in training for a 10k), then later in the week the whole flipping family wanted to get in on the act, so there were loads of adults and kids all loping round this lake, with varying degrees of success. I managed about 20 minutes each time, but to be honest my commitment was taking a bit of a holiday too, and I was lugging far too much wine and BBQ food. As usual, DS (10) and DD1 (9) showed me up something rotten; while I was puffing along, DS was doing football warm-ups alongside me, running backwards and leaping over rocks while barely breaking sweat. I sat and ate an ice lolly while he completed 7 circuits. Grrr.
The good news is my knee is completely better, which means I'm back on the programme from tomorrow. I need to get back to 25 minutes as a minimum if I'm going to lose that new camembert tyre I seem to have acquired. No excuses now - MrsDepp's holiday is O-V-E-R!
