I always found the shorter distances to be a lot lot tougher than the longer distances. If you were chasing a time in a 10k it is relentless, with longer distances you’ve got the opportunity to ease off a bit and come back again if you’re having a bit of a wobble.
Done mainly for fun, some were sponsered runs, non competitive.
First was done whilst competing in a pie eating competition, between rounds. Paid the entry fee and off I went.

Don't drink it all at once. Let the taste linger longer.

I had a phone call about 'the accident you recently had'.
I said 'Which one? There's been so many recently!'
'Was it the one where I'd drunk 10 pints and drove through a crowd of disabled lesbians at a bus stop, or the one where I'd accidentally shot the vicar with my crossbow?'
Long silence, then hung up. :laugh:

It will be a 4.5C scorcher today. Mrs 12 has agreed to try a little walk today, the first in a month. She's afraid her pleural cavity is acquiring fluid again and if so the process is becoming accelerated. When we see the cancer doc in a few weeks he may put her on chemo sooner than later. Not the retirement lifestyle we had hoped for....we plan and God laughs. I do understand every day is a gift. Enough kvetching.
Perhaps the planting of arugula, chard, shallots and lettuce today will occur. I would like to get that off my plate, leaving mainly more delicate stuff like tomatoes, cukes and zucchini for less chancy weather. And of course, there is no excuse not to do my twenty on the bike. I am hoping to get a few things in that will allow me to complete changing the Brompton from IGH to chainpusher 2 speed and setting up my 82 Holdsworth to an SA 3 speed. A little tinkering is good for the soul. Tonight will be chile con carne which also has beans so it will be windy here manana.
Be safe and well enjoy gloating over your many awards and trophies. You deserve to.
