business as usual

OK, I've recovered from my bout of madness, I'm loving running again, and yay it's the Easter holidays!

Tuesday night I raced in the Physical Shield road relay in Loughton. Just under 2 miles per leg, hilly hilly, but nothing compared to Beachy Head at the weekend, so lots of fun. Our women's team came third. And I ran the fastest ever time for a VPH woman. Except the officials messed up the scoring and said I'd taken almost 30 seconds longer, and that the woman who ran after me took 30 seconds less than she really did. Boo. At least I have my stopwatch time though, so I know how fast I did it really.

Then last night I went out to the club for my first mid-week steady run in weeks. And it was pure heaven. It was still light out for most of the run, and we did my favourite route, the Limehouse loop. Fabulous. It felt so good that I just went out again and did just under 5 miles, accompanied by Mr. Kanye West. Not KW in person of course, just Late Registration on the mp3 player. Which I rarely ever do when running. But today it was just perfect.

Tonight: Making dinner with CIB
Tomorrow: Meeting W to visit the slave ship Zong and wander round Borough market. Then I might even go out with Si and his mates Saturday night, since he's always trying to pull women and I've pointed out that having a woman in the gang will substantially improve his and his mates' chances of pulling. Well, if other women are anything like me it will, anyway. Should be interesting...!
Sunday: Probably going to nip down to Paddock Wood in Kent with AG and AC to do a half marathon. Won't be properly racing, it's just for the fun of it. Because I can, now I'm not doing the marathon. Yay ;-) God I love running!

Over and out. Good weekend y'all.
