Money well spent

It's been a busy day today.
I took eldest daughter to buy trainers ready for school on Monday, and bagged myself a bargain - some half price capri running leggings. It's only about six weeks since I bought the last pair, but my waist has shrunk an inch since then and during the last few runs I'd been spending more time hoiking the old pair up than I had running.
I ran at lunch time today (without having to worry that my trousers were slipping to my knees without me noticing). I did three miles of interval training (one mile warm-up, then run for a minute flat out, walk for 30 seconds, run, walk, run, walk...you get the idea).
My route took me past the traffic island at Longbridge, and the flower-covered mini. It marks the half way point on that particular run, but also means that the next three quarters of a mile is uphill...very uphill. The sun was behind clouds when I first went out, but within quarter of a mile the clouds dispersed and it was cooking.
This evening I went to my lovely friend's baby shower. Lots of fun, and chinese takeaway...yum!
