I intended to do 5 miles today but ended up doing 4.6 (according to my box of tricks) because I ran out of time. The road down to Defford was incredibly gritty and also busy, so Minnie and I kept having to dive into the verge to avoid the tractors. She is a very patient dog. Anyway, after half my allotted time I hadn't made half my allotted distance. Still- no new blisters, no bleeding and no cuts or thorns today so that's all to the good.
Unexpectedly terrifying encounter with the Year 8's at Pershore High (all beautifully behaved) when I realised that, not only had the head of year taken up 5 of my 15 minutes telling the kids off for leaving their mobile phones in the changing rooms, but that, in my hurry, I'd put all the slide notes in the wrong order, and I just had to busk it. Aaagh. Never mind- it sounds as though I shall be getting quite a generous donation from the school, so if I have to go through fire a couple more times this week, so be it.
