day 16: doesn't work well with children or ill people

For once, I actually got out in the sunshine (though it was freezing) for my run YAAAY! That was despite the fact I had LOADS to do at work. I just went into super efficient mode got it done, went out ran one of the shorter circuits near my office, then back to it.

I think on top of my run, all the rushing around at the office, flying up and down stairs to different - but still defective - printers, everything constituted an extra Janathon effort today. Not to mention the running from a church to a Matalan and back in a dress and my new rock boots - FYI was at a work public information event, not some weird mid-week, late afternoon wedding - to move my car and avoiding a parking fine.

After all this, finally got back home, very hungry and tired, bottle of wine in hand, to find the boyfriend laying in bed groaning. Now I have shown sympathy (this time it is illness related pain) but when it comes down to it I'm really just not good around ill people. My mum was a district nurse....I really didn't inherit whatever enabled her to do that kind of job! The same goes for children, with, of course, the exception of my niece - though I'm even very happy to hand her back when a crying session begins!

So anyway, I really must get back to my wine and get my dinner, since my layabout (sorry, ill) other half rests.

Stats!
distance: 2.68 miles
time: 25 mins 01secs
extra work-related running around: I would say about an extra 2 miles at least!

  1. Running in New Rocks is not easy! I think that should count twice :)

    2. That's more than I usually manage but fortunately my OH is of the leave me alone to die variety. At least I think he is. That's what I've always done at any rate.
