Blog2020 ≫ Clare is outrunning me

She ran over 9km today. I have not run that far this week, I must go out when she gets back. Actually I must go out when she gets back, as she drove to pump class today, then ran her 9km to Hythe and is walking back from there. So, I have to go and get the car. That's probably five or six km for me. I have not run since my failed 10km earlier in the week as my legs just felt a bit tired and achy since then. Also one of my elbows still has a dull ache from really banging it on something. See what this run does to that...

Plans for later are for me to still be out running when the shopping gets delivered so I don't have to put it away. Then we're off to Tin And Tap, the new place from the creators or Luben, Market Square, etc. It does mostly fried chicken with a good vegan selection, so we're going there for tea.

Fairly quiet day indoors for me yesterday while Clare was in London. We're hoping to all go to London in half term next week (or is it the week after?) but if it's all going to be locked down for coronavirus is it worth it? I'm looking forward to a pay day redundancy spend up, I guess I could do it all online. Might be less satisfying that way.

I decided to put my old desk on ebay 1, instead of freecycle. Looking at it it's really good, too good to just give away. If someone's paying for it they really want it I think. I do worry that people taking things on freecycle might be selling them on. I'm giving a share of the sale to charity, so that's alright. Why don't you bid here 1?

I did put Jim's old computer desk on freecycle though. Had initial interest in it but they've not got back to me so it might be a waste of time.

Good gig a quarter of a century ago today, Sleeper, 60ft Dolls, and Wannadies. I have a souvenir from this one:

77 broken links today. I added a load of missing venues.

5k: Five kilometres, just over three miles to you.

10k: Ten km, just over six miles to you. Sometimes talking about 10,000 steps though, an arbitrary daily step-count target.
