Mmmm Porridge!

Baby Darcy has started on solids this week. She has tried sweet potato and banana but without much success so today we went for porridge - oh she is such my daughter as she absolutely lapped it up (sans Nutella I may add)

Finally got together with my fellow deerstalkers this morning for a wee run which coincided with the FB5K. The premise is that on the first Saturday of the month you run 5k and post you name, time and location on to the events page. A nice wee motivational tool to get you out on a freezing cold morning. We met up at 0700. It was a day of firsts for me - the first time I have ran with other people and the first time that I have ran competitively.

Running is normally a solitary activity for me. A time to empty my head and think of nothing but putting one foot in front of the other. Although,I did enjoy having company this morning. Time went so much more quickly than normal, no sooner had I started than I had finished. I have been going to classes with Lynne, one of my companions, for over a year now and this is the very first time that I have chatted to her for more than a couple of minutes. Was great to get to know her a wee bit better!

Yeah social running might just catch on :)

p.s. compression shorts under the running tights solved my cold weather issue of Thursday past
