I've been thinking about all the women in my life that inspire me today on international women's day, which is just about all of them in their own ways.

the schedule said 20 minute recovery run so that's what I did and it was so windy I was almost running on the spot a few times. the wind made me wheezy too so it wasn't enjoyable at all but it's done.

I seem to be in the habit of making pies just now, so chicken and leek for us and a veg one for beth, who didn't turn up in the end because ronan split his chin open doing a plank. four stitches.

then I did some painting.
