Today's weather forecast was better than tomorrow's so off a plodding I went. Preparation was awful!
Up and breakfast by 9am. Walk to village for paper and meat (fab local butcher!), walk home and off to Sainsbury. Home and out of the door by about 12:15. Yes you are right there was no extra food or drink in there.
So off I went at 12 with no fuel and just my runner's aid water bottle.
By 5.5m I was shattered and struggling but my route meant I had to do the full 8m run from door to door, there was no short cuts. From just before 5m I was constantly on a hill and that made my back niggle a bit so this was followed by a huge chunk of walking and it just went down from there! The last 1/2m was a cool down and again mainly walking (flat bits and down hills!) as by then I was exhausted and thirsty.
Home and I went straight to the kitchen, poured a glass of fruit juice and drank that whilst eating 3 mini bagels and making up 500ml of Rego. This food and drink did make me feel better until I drank the Rego! Keith at camp said Rego was great especially for people who find it hard to eat after a run, I almost chucked up! Major yuck. Drank about 2/3s of it and the rest went down the sink. Not getting that again!
A nice hot bath (I was getting cold by then!) was followed by mini pringles and some home popped popcorn and 1pt of squash followed that and now I feel tired but alive.
The bread maker is currently making pizza dough for homemade pizza tonight which Gnome will make and he has also made some Angel Delight. Tomorrow he wants to make some bread rolls with poppy seeds on!
I haven't told him but after my recovery trot to buy a paper tomorrow I may take him swimming. We'll see how alive I feel!
Also this afternoon we have been checking the dates for seeds to be sown, next weekend we will be planting the 1st batch!! May do some tomorrow as well. Gnome likes growing veggies so is happy to help which is good when you are tired from a run!!
