Another Week, Another Monday, Another Jog!

Hi blog readers.

I am so glad its becoming warmer and sunnier out there. This morning at least, it was lovely, even jogged without my jacket hiding these arms of mine!.

Well, first thing this morning had a text from Vic.2 to say she was coming to me to do her daily constitutionals, she wants to do the 1.75 mile route. Then a little later had text from Happy Neighbour saying the her firm can't do without and have pleaded with her to go in for this week.

Vic.2 did give Nagging sister a call early too, but was greeted with grunts and snuffles and something else inaudible but Vic.2 said it definitely had the word 'off' at the end. So it seems its just going to be the two of us today, (Smarty Pants has returned to her work now.)

Vic. 2 came round to my house, changed into her joggers and said 'So turnaround lamppost and back then is it?' Of course I knew she was joking, although her face did look as if she wasn't. Even when she said 'Ok, well just go a little further to the church'

Do you know I almost said ok, just to see how fast we could do turn around lamppost. In fact I think I did say yes, but we talked each other into doing the 1.75 mile route. Me and Vic.2 are such a bad influence on each other sometimes.

No IPOD today, just me, Vic.2 and the open road. And you never know, if we are doing it right we will still be able to chat as we jog!!

We started off, stopwatch going, turning to go up the road, then turning up again to the long stretch of road. Vic. 2 came to the second turning on this bit and asked if this is where we turn. She gave me this peculiar look when I said 'no, its the next one up.' Its the turning I always stop at, have a glug of water, its where I do my first bit of walking, but today I carried on. Today I conquered the first "walk" point on the new 1.75 mile route. I don't know who was more proud, me or Vic.2 as she of course took credit for me going past that point. 'Its because I'm here' she says smiling.

And it was like that the whole way round. Yes, I did stop on route, and yes I did take sips of water, but I kept challenging myself to keep going, Vic.2 kept giving me another lamppost or tree to aim for when I said 'I will get to this tree then walk for a bit'

SO WHY OH WHY DID I DO THIS IN 23:37:02 MINUTES Why has it taken me a minute longer when I jogged more of this route than last time?! Huge Sigh!!

Oh Well, at least I beat some targets on this route. Vic.2 did well too, same as me, of course, well, maybe 00:00:02 seconds quicker!

EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA

I couldn't resist the urge to try and jog to turn around lamppost again, so just I went for it before I talked myself out of it

Did it 15:23:25 minutes!!!!

Best I done for ages!! So Nagging Sister, what you can you say about that then?
