This time last week I was enjoying a G & T with my son at Oake Manor whilst we awaited the guests for his wedding to our gorgeous daughter in law.
This time tomorrow I will hopefully have just completed the Taunton 10k for my third time. I'm not hoping to beat any records and I know my place, I shall be towards the back happy to have completed. My good friend Fi might be still with me or she may well have finished minutes ahead. Apparently rain is forecast but I don't mind, I just hope it isn't raining whilst we wait to start. If any of my local readers can spare a minute or 2 to pop along to the route and give me a wave and some encouragement (and even a jelly baby) I would be delighted to see you.
This time today I'm taking a break in the usual Saturday chores to write this blog but the day started on a much nicer note. Ali and I had a ruffle along the river enjoying another gloriously sunny Saturday. Ali has been unwell and this was her first outing for a few days and as I'm hoping to put in a good time tomorrow we had planned a gentle walk/jog and natter.
On the return leg of our route Ali suddenly said "There's a runner coming we best run," so we did, said runner passed us with a cheery hello, we both responded with surprised hellos to him and then a surprised look at each other as we realised we all knew each other. The upshot of our conversation is that we might be running the London 10k, although I have no idea when it is, where it is or anything. Amazing what you'll agree to on a sunny Saturday morning!
