Cross training and a run.....

Went to Cadbury's World this morning with my Dad. Was nice. Lots of chocolate brought home- managed to keep the consumption down to a shared packet of buttons so far.... The did a few hours cross training at Merry Hill, known locally as Merry Hell and the size of the queue in Jane Norman today completely emphasised why that might be. Bought many items including a couple of really nice jumper/dress things, pair of new knee length boots, patterned tights and black hotpants (still can't believe I own hotpants) but hey, have lost a bit of weight enough to get away with it, and everyone is damn well wearing them in Kingston these days.... such a fashion victim. V nice beige coloured leather jacket, cream handbag.... oh I'd better stop listing shopping and start listing training.

Took me till nearly 9pm to drag self out door as had fallen asleep after dinner, and have had real trouble generally getting out to run staying here, there's not really anywhere good to go. Had left it too late to do anything decent, and had been on feet/walking allllll day (oh, so lame) so thought would go out for another slowish one and see what happened. Warmed up after the 1st mile tho and so just thought I wouldn't look at the watch and just keep it on to make sure I logged 5 miles. Then in fact just ran same route as yesterday- yawn.

So, the figures. 5.01 miles, 38.17, 7.39mm

1. 8.27
2. 7.52
3. 7.44
4. 7.25
5. 6.47 (not sure where that came from but is reasonably downhill...)

So was OK as was late in day, I was tired. Gonna have to run all nastily before breakfast tomorrow as gettin hair cut in the morning (and for any men reading this- a girl whose been to the hairdressers is not going to go running the same day.....) so will be a nice slow plod before breakfast. Must try and do 6 or 7, but there really isn't anywhere to go boo hoo.
