Project365 #53

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 4 Comments

Today was a cold and windy Sleaford Half Marathon. Here are some general wonderings:

1. Started off at a pretty easy 8min/mile pace – had a bit of an issue with some very strong headwind in the second half – finished in 1.48

2. I was wearing the number 333 – I also met the fella that had 666

3. I was wearing my Garmin watch – although it was set to metric – which blew my mind! It’s hard to work things out when you’re tired.

4. My reward…I rather snazzy purple technical t-shirt…

Well done to everyone who ran it, supported it and organised it.

It was a lazy start to the day. I did actually set the alarm so that I could make parkrun, however when it went off I was quick to decide against it. My excuse: Sleaford Half Marathon in the morning.

Instead, I headed off with the dog to the woods for a little stroll. It was a beautiful morning.

I’d like to introduce you to my boiler….

She has not been too well recently: pressure problems.

She had a visit today from a lovely man who aims to put an end to her miseries. He’ll be back next week.

Often the 'photo of the day' is something pretty mundane, mainly because I had forgotten about it. Already this year we have had: me watching the TV; plates of food, sometimes even empty plates of food; and plenty of piles of marking. Today was different. Today Project365 was at the forefront of my mind. Today we had a choice:

1. After waking up pretty early I took a picture of the book I'm reading, that could easily have made Project365.

2. Popped into town for breakfast. It looked good. Took picture. That didn't make the blog.

3. I washed the car. That very rarely happens. Again, nope.

So what amazing event made day 49 of Project365 I hear you ask. What experience was important enough to be captured in a moment of digital splendour?

I sorted out the garage…

Next job: get the car in!
