There are....

....easier ways to spend a Sunday morning as you can see from my moosh.

64mins 11seconds was my official time. With Chook's words of advice ringing in my ears, I went off consertaively aiming for 60mins. The course has two significant hills in the first 3 km which is a thigh burner. I was going really well until 4km I suddenly experienced cramp in my right calf....damn, never had that in training. I ran through it with much gritting of teeth and cursing, and as I neared the finish I had to stretch out my right leg thus. Had I not suffered the cramp, I was on for 55mins....bugger. Thanks to Chook for her sage advice which spared me the worst I suspect. This shot was taken by Nancy after I'd crossed the finish line. Must get a bit of weight off for next year.

Headed down to the Borders and my sister's for an afternoon in the sun to celebrate Mum's significant birthday, and then back into the smoke for Eduardo's pre-firework perty.

All good.
