Guess Where I've Been....







It was a GLORIOUS trip to the UK, and I crammed so much into it. We had 5 days total, including the trip there and back (The 8-hour plane trip both ways sucked). Hubby had to go on business, so I tagged along. I even did some sightseeing alone, in another country - something I have never done, and am usually unlikely to do...

We landed in London, did some sightseeing, hopped a train to Bristol, did Bath (The City of Bath), Stonehenge, back to London and more sightseeing there.....

Good news: I've started running a week early (Shhhh!). So far I've run twice. The first time I stopped after 1.10 miles; the second time after 2.0 miles. I've scheduled myself a run this afternoon after work. I have not run two days consecutively and promised the doc I wouldn't.

It was so hard to stop when my mind and body was begging me to go, go, go, go! But I was a bit afraid. The broken ankle hurt pretty badly and I really don't want to go through anything like that again.

(Have I mentioned how badly I'll suck in the 10k coming up? With no preparation other than these short runs for THREE MONTHS... ugh)

Glad for the update. I thought you had 'run' off.

Oooo be so careful! Makes me cringe just thinking of running on that sore ankle!

The program I use for my pictures is Photoshop 7.0 but I'm drooling over Photoshop CS3. That's my next big purchase ;)

there will be many many more 10Ks. sacrifice the $30 entrance fee so it doesn't turn into a $10,000 doctor bill.
