So today I ventured out on my second "public" run. This time I was wearing my husbands long sleeved running top. He even came with me on this one. It was seriously funny as I think he could have walked faster than I was running. But bless his 1000 mile socks he stuck with me- apart from the times he cantered off to go and do some hill something or others. This basically invovled him tearing up (to me anyway) the hill and running back down to me huffing and puffing my way (very slowly) up. For the whole 4.1.miles (yeeha distance is increasing!) he very helpfully (not) tried to engage in conversation. I replied with lots of non committal "uh huhs" in what I hope was the correct place.
We went to our local country park just two minutes from where we live. Its beautiful there and is full of lovely little tracks and trails. So, today I have encountered hills like you wouldn't believe, muddy puddles Peppa and George would love (Oh my poor lovely WHITE trainers) and have gained some extra protein in my diet from the couple of flies I unwittingly ingested.
I really enjoyed this run. I loved sharing it with my hubby (puke) something I never ever thought I would do. The sadness of it all is I would never consider going there and running by myself. Probably more a reflection on my view of the world rather than the world itself. Crooked thinking Kimby style. It took me years to perfect and allow it to affect my life so much so its going to take me a long time to stop being like that.
Great run 4.1 miles in 47 minutes.
Oh and lesson for today - I need some gear. I must have looked a treat running along either holding up my leggings or pulling them up around my boobs (which after two children I will admit are not as high at they once were, so maybe I wasnt pulling them up that much haha!) to make them stay up. Tucking them into my knickers wasn't an option as they fell down too. Attractive.
