Not run this early...

Not run this early (7am) since... well on strava was going to say since my walk of shame days but as it's a charity I'm running for this month, I toned it down to look a bit more respectable and said since my clubbing days. Shorts we're up my front bottom the whole way but not too many people had to bear witness.  Book has gone from where I put it yesterday so either a fox took it or possibly a person. Good deed: picked up litter.

Week 1 of 1k and a good deed a day has been kick started again. I can't figure out what week we are in, actually...does anyone know if this is still 2020 dragging its sorry arse around? This year is such a bloody drag I dont know where we are at. So, week one this shall remain.           (2020 mood in a picture, dull.)

Go to '1k and a good deed a day' if you can.  From now on I will do a mini blog each day so when Friday comes all I have to worry about is drinking wine.  Oh but exciting times, I have signed up for a real life half marathon in Kent on 27th September 2020! It says it is guaranteed to go ahead! Pigs might fly but it is something to aim for.  I'm also thinking about doi

I don’t really know where the past few months have gone considering we have been on pause due to Covid-19. A pandemic so unimaginable it still feels like we are in some sort of weird dream. I stopped blogging because it just didn’t feel appropriate, picking up bits of plastic off the beach and popping pennies into a charity box was just a bit pathetic with all that was going on. I still carried on doing my bit though, volunteering to get medicine and food for people, which kept 1k and a good deed alive.   I have also carried on running and thankfully haven’t let my new hobby of drinking wine/gin/cider/rum almost every night affect me too much. Though I have done a few hungover runs much to my stomachs dismay. I did a 5k garden run on my birthday, which was literally running in my back garden looping around and around and around and took 4 days. Well, it was 40ish minutes but it felt a hell of lot longer.   And my biggest achievement during lockdown...I
