Grumpy!

Grumpy wasn’t the word to the way I felt on Friday night, I should be out or at least having people round, but as I’m not drinking, I don’t really feel like socializing, is that bad of me, perhaps I was just in one of those moods…….any how, my motivational guru turns up and gives me a right talking to! For those that don’t know who she is, she really is the best money or love can buy…that will be my eldest daughter Imogen (8).

In a nutshell pull your socks up and get a grip, life’s too short to mope around.
That type of talking to costs a fortune in the therapists chair!


The Martyr I am I swapped my Sunday run to a Saturday run, for Mothers day! and decided to retrace from last week, but my bloody sat nav played up a again, and whilst I was in the loo at Dunorlan park, It gave me another 2 miles!!! If only it was that easy!

Lovely run, but Saturday is clearly a different day, I was amazed as to how much busier it was, loads more runners out (maybe the Weather has an effect) and also the traffic.

The 1st part (Lorraine’s 10k) was ok, few little niggles from my shins…but again, once I climbed the hill over the A21 all pain disappears, same as last week, weird things happen at about 4 miles, your body starts doing things on its own…..delving in to fat stores for added energy and funny hormones kick in!....apparently…..?

I make my way back to the park, pick up my drink and refuel as it where, go to the loo and gain 2 miles which really bloody annoys me! I have the time from last week so I can see how I do against that, 2.06 last week, so I’m tracking ok, over the other side of Tunbridge Wells now, St Marks and Broadwater Down, cross over the Frant Road across to The Crowborough Road back up to Tunbridge wells up on the Common, to the Groombridge road, where Arron correctly guessed a face down playing card that someone had dropped, I do believe he’s still got it in his wallet for luck!

Any way I digress back along the top, then cut straight through town back up the hill to the park gates an back home! 2hrs on the nose and very happy with that!
I didn’t feel too bad, It is a really nice run, next week I have to add some miles, so I’m thinking of re – running the Lorraines 10k or another route, Im not sure yet!

I have 5 runs this week, including sprints, steadies and a 10k tomorrow, which I am looking forward to…believe it or not!

Thanks for reading, and if you have sponsored me, thanks again.
