eeekkkkkkk - made better by a glass of wine

I merrily donned the running gear for a four mile run last night, fuelled in no part by the fact there was a HUGE glass of celebratory vino at the end of it waiting for me. I am lying of course - my enthusiasm was totally fuelled by the fact there was a HUGE glass of celebratory vino at the end of it for me. Celebratory because I found out I had passed something I had been waiting quite a  bit of time to receive the results of. Its only the first part in a three stage process but it was a BIG part of it.

Anyway back to the run.

Guess who I met on my run????

Yep “Born to Run” man………..

I saw him coming towards me and seriously thought for a second I could pretend to be one of the lambs in the adjacent field……

“No wont work, I have a purple top on” – reasoning skills not completely effectively working then.

So nothing for it - I just have to keep going and run past him.

He smiles (possibly a smirk at the crazy singing running lady? ).  He says hello. In my panic and embarrassment I screech in a high pitched and then broken voice “Hi” and then want to hide. I was running sans music and could hear that “hi” over and over again for the next  1.56 miles.

Its true- some moments in time really do happen in ultra slow motion.

Onwards to 10 or 11 miles this weekend……….
