Is that all?

Is that all? by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

I probably could have managed this session yesterday morning as planned before work - YES, WORK! - but it would have been pushing it a bit and I erred on the side of caution.

I thought I'd timed it today to miss all the darling children being dropped off at school by very relieved parents, but actually ran into several blockages along the route.  I have to attribute the slight disappointingness of the distance and pace measures to this, because it felt rather good.  I have been suffering with really, really tight achilles tendons the past few weeks and they were making their presence felt again today, but I felt much more relaxed than the last half hour session, but did not cover as much distance.

I'm in a client sign-off phase of my current consultancy project and will spend the next few days finishing off outside - I need to re-stain the fence (5 years on, it's looking a bit patchy) and pressure wash the guttering and patio.  I'm also getting very excited as my roses ll get ready for their first blooms.  I had thought I'd have a few open by now, but checking this morning I found that the ones I thought were close appear instead to have been eaten from inside by some pest.  I have noticed some ichneumon wasp-looking things out there the past few days and wonder if they might be responsible?  Anyway, real flowers cannot be too far off and I'm hoping for another decent album of garden pics this year.

Off to the tip now and then it's manual labour time.  Loving this weather!
