May Day

Everyone loves a free day off work. Today is the May bank holiday and it's a fixed day off from work. At my last job, we got bank holidays, but they were rolling so you could take them whenever you liked. That was a good thing, but sometimes it's nicer to have them fixed. I have no need to have today off, which makes it so much better! A free day!

I got up and went for a run this morning, I was feeling pretty good. At 7.5 miles, I had a decision to make... Turn down one street and be home in about 2 miles or carry on and do a half marathon... Can you guess which one I chose?

Of course, there was no question really! I never imagined that 3 weeks after the marathon I'd be in any state to run a half, but I pleasantly surprised myself. I didn't even want to stop and take a photo today, so this is one I took in Holyrood Park right at the very end.

I've now got the boring task of clearing out my wardrobes to get rid of old items and make some space so I can once again close the wardrobe door. Then later on I'm off out to meet my friend, Keri. Hope everyone's having a good bank holiday!
