Waving me across the road..... BLAH!

It has been a good week really, I guess!  A 5k run home on Monday, then a cycle,swim,cycle and then 1st run after cycle (only 1 mile!) - but I did it.. and it was ok ish...

And then I ran to the gym yesterday.. well.. I am not really sure you can call it running - but I got there on my own two feet- with no wheels in sight!

However.. I am the first person to advocate kindness. and in particular kindness to people who are out and about obviously trying to improve their lifestyle with exercise. But yesterday .. I was worn out..my legs hurt.. it was hot.. and HOW VERY DARE THEY! people kept stopping their cars and waving me on across the road! When each time I was looking for a, if only short, little stop..  chance to breathe, to catch my breathe... but no. Kind people kept smiling and waving me on.  Thanks!!!

Obviously, I smiled, and waved, and said thank you and carried on running... while inside all I as thinking of was "I WANTED TO STOP!!!!!".

So - a little ask to any of you who follow this, who live in Ipswich. If you see me running  (you will know it is me - slow, plodding, hot,bothered, over weight...46 year old who thinks she can actually run(?)!) and I am about to cross the road.. consider giving me a break.. smile and wave at me.. and drive on past - I promise, I will LOVE you for it!!!

2 weeks today, I will be there. And who knows what is going to happen.  Goodness knows!
