Strong finish

The title is unrelated to the blip which is another opportunistic one. There are several thriving rowan trees in the grounds of the QEUH all dripping with orangey red berries.
The strong finish relates to the Parkrun earlier which once again has set me up for the day. The marshals are some of the best I’ve come across, especially  the one who cheered me on with a jolly “strong finish” with only 200m to go. The intention not to be competitive was discarded the second I started running and I took almost 3 minutes off my time last week. I do need to remind myself that this all about ensuring I get 90 minutes of strenuous exercise every week, but it is fun reliving my serious running days.
Walking up the 8 floors every day at the QEUH  is clearly having a great impact. I usually get the lift down; aging/ageing knees.
