• Wings for Life!

    May 3, 2020 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We had some lovely sunny weather over the bank holiday. I dragged Mia out for a walk down to the village on Saturday with a promise of an iced latte from Starbucks!

    Starbucks was closed but Costa was open so I had one happy Mia! My first takeaway coffee in many weeks.

    Mia has been practicing her hockey skills in the garden. She even roped Paul in a few times...hes a natural!

    On Sunday me and Lisa ran the Wings for Life run. It was GREAT! Such a good activity to take my mind off the lockdown. My goal was half marathon so I mapped out a 7 mile loop within my 2km radius (pity the 5km radius doesn't come in until Tuesday!) My loop went through my estate so I was able to leave water and a gel on my doorstep at the half way mark.

    Me and Lisa chatted on the phone the whole way around which was brilliant! And Mum and Anna showed up a few times to cheer me along - such an unexpected surprise! Garrett even spotted me from his balcony! I ran a wings for life PB of 23.59km....Could not walk afterwards but felt so happy 😁 Go us!

    I'm so tanned after the race..my sun cream must have sweated off! 😬

    Unfortunately it's month end so I don't get the bank holiday off to recover 😭
