Double bubble!

It sorted me right out and I felt as fit as a fiddle on Tuesday! The weather had been very hit and miss this week, but after torrential downpours on Wednesday, I decided to have a week off a Wednesday run. I must admit, I did miss it a lot - and seeing all my weekly lions. However; I ran a half marathon. Surely I deserve a rest sometimes, right?
