    12 yr old daughters were busy in the kitchen this weekend. Got my pancakes after a prebreakfast lsr ( minus the miserable weather). I was ravenous.

    Running in the Phoenix Park yesterday morning and:
    • Discovering that it was possible to hide from the wind (most of the time)
    • Running downhill on the little pedestrian path that leads from Upper Glen road to the pedestrian gate, and seeing a large group of kids ahead - preparing for evasive action when, as if by magic, they all moved onto the grass to allow me free passage
    • The sun doing it's best to break through the clouds
    • Realising after about 5 miles that I was wearing the exact right clothing - even the gloves were perfect
    • Running uphill towards the Wellington Monument and taking to the road to avoid another runner - an oncoming car indicating and moving to the opposite side of the road, allowing me several metres of space
    • Feeling comfortable, and glancing at the garmin to discover I was 10 sec/mile faster than target pace
    • A group of three oncoming runners taking to the grass to let me pass (maybe I looked as if I needed help at that stage)
    • My left knee not protesting until I was 200m from home
    • Falling in the front door and finding the stool in the hall wasn't buried under running gear - perfect for a timely collapse
    • The OH asking if I was ok and the Garmin HR confirming that yes, I had a heartbeat
    • Forgetting all about goals and just running for fun
    • All of the above adding up to the most enjoyable run I can remember
    Sorry for the long post - trying to make up for my long silence.:D

    The arrival of a huge package (not a euphemism for digger and co. before they start :D) and knowing that no matter what is inside, the best part is you just recieved a box full of bubble wrap :D

    (Inner child lives on :p)

    The fruit shop man gave me a free pear and the homeless guy I gave a few quid to told me I have a lovely smile :) Nice start to the day (and clever marketing strategies by both of them ;))
