I was feeling tired this morning but was determined to go for a run first thing. It was another cold frosty morning but not as icy and slippery as yesterday. I set off with heavy uncooperative legs and the voice in my head saying "you are too tired ... walk, walk, walk!"
I ignored my inner voice and kept on plodding. I tried to get in the "zone" but didn't quite manage it today, but hey ho I still did it!
There was one highlight on this run that gave my confidence a boost! I was running along the cycle path when I approached three slow female runners blocking my way. I called out "excuse me" and the ladies parted, I then had the most awful realisation that they were actually three mothers from school, just as this dawned on me I heard one of them say "it's Mrs Wallace - she's like a whippet!" I had a little giggle to myself - I would never describe my running style as like a whippet, more like a tortoise! but this gave me the boost I needed to get me home!

As the men folk in my house had an afternoon of football planned I decided that rather than sit and suffer I would escape out with the dog for a nice walk! It was a lovely cold crisp afternoon but where I had chosen to walk was incredibly muddy - it was like walking in glue at times, making it very hard work. We had a good 9 mile walk, the only downside being the dogs paw prints which are now all over the kitchen floor - perhaps I need to get him some wellies to save on the cleaning!!!
