Last Friday, 21 May, I ran for 2 hours 19 mins… that should be at least 12 miles. Although it was hard at the end, I thought I must be on target for the Lisburn half-marathon on 16 June.

Today I ran for maybe 2-3 miles and feel wrecked. Does that mean I’m not ready after all? Hope not!

Now I feel just like sitting in a field of bluebells and enjoying the colour, smell and the sun. This season goes far too quickly so need to stop and stare a while!
