Once again the weather was conspiring against us, I reckon. We had hopes of a walk in the morning before Wee Daftie’s bestie came over for the afternoon. But the dreich day didn’t make for fun wet waking, just wet wet walking.
We did make a stop off at a shop this morning for some essentials (bananas, cheese and passata) but that didn’t do much for our daily target.
And if I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it to the very best of my ability. Meagre though they may be!
Wee Daftie and her pals are all at a lovely age where they don’t really need me to support their play anymore. So I can potter, prep, plot, plan, knit safe in the knowledge that they are fine, causing minimal chaos and will call me if/when they need me.
Delightful.
So to make up for a lack of movement from yours truly, guess who was off for an evening jaunt?
I love Edinburgh in the evening.
It is such a well lit city. They just do lights very well. And I definitely feel safe being out and about. I did tell Daddy Daftie what my route was going to be, well lit and very public, but I didn’t have a moment when I didn’t comfortable or safe.
In my running routines, Wednesday is a running day. But I really didn’t know if I was going to get my legs moving more than a stroll (for Simba) this evening.
What is it they say? Plan for the worst, pray for the best. So, with that vaguely in mind, I dressed in my running gear and heading out into the sog.
I started walking to my running playlist, as I usually do, and I reached the part of the road that I run on when I’m out with Wee Daftie. So the lovely, bright, flat road that leads to Wardie Bay. Perfect for scooting, apparently. Not that my non scooting toes would know.
And I did it. I ran. In the rain. And it was good. I did a decent 15 mins, probably faster than I have done recently, and then took the long, still well lit, walk home. And that was good.
Step target well and truly hit today again and I managed to get a good chunk of my current knitting project done.
The forecast for tomorrow isn’t amazing so it’ll probably be some indoor walking for the Daft Gals but it will be great, whatever we end up doing, because we are walking for a great cause.
