Unlucky for some?

Jan1320127:16 p.m.

It may be Friday the thirteenth but today my girls came up with a full house of great results.

The eldest surprised even herself and sailed through the driving theory test. Smile

Last night's running partner got the result of her re-taken Maths GCSE exam.

A star! (that's the result, although she too is a star) Smile

And the littl'un got 10/10 in her spelling test. Smile

I am considering having a paternity test!

I had a long run to get out of the way so I can spend the rest of the weekend working. 

I did 8 miles. I picked a pretty, but very hilly route.

I don't know how but eighty per cent of the route must have been uphill.

It was like running a lap of Escher's staircase.

So I had a few walks here and there but I'm glad I tried it and will do it again one day and see if I can improve. It's all good training and I'm pretty sure there'll be no climbs like that in London on Aprill 22nd.

No running till Monday now but I have no work all next week so am looking forward to a really good week of training. 

I am now going to walk to an off licence, where I intend to purchase a bottle of wine.

Have a great weekend all!

Oops, nearly forgot. 

8 miles.    1 hour 23 mins    Av. pace: 10.22
