🚨 WHEEEEEEERP 🚨
I DID A RUN!
*crowd goes wild*
*hundreds of single roses thrown from all angles onto stage*
Well.... I am pretty pleased that happened.

Boring bit...
Signed up for 8k group to stretch myself (6.25m/km) which is something I can now do, but it depends who I'm running with. The hardcore runners do 9k (5.55m/km) which is beyond me by some distance. However when there's no 9k group, the fast beanpole thousand-yard-stare dead-eyed marathon runners go into the 8k group, invariably making the pace quite a bit less forgiving, even though they don't mean to. So I made a bit of a joke about this and moved my name into the 7k group. Then ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. A very nice lady I like very much who is very small and old but with the power and energy of a hundred thousand suns within her, got quite cross about this and felt like I was being bullied and if those bloody fast runners didn't accommodate me and run at the correct pace, she would wreak a bloody path of vengeance upon their asses. I said I really didn't mind and didn't want to be the one person struggling at the back, but she forced me into the group and apparently is now bringing it up at the general management meeting. I therefore felt terrible about this and joined the 8k group against my will, ironically bullied into it by the terrifying well-meaner, which meant of course my running arse was well and truly kicked tonight. But I did it. Even if it was the very upper limits of my ability. It's all mental anyway because actually that's naturally the pace I do parkrun, but there's something a bit different when you're out on the mean streets of West Wickham and Beckenham, tackling very slight inclines and whatnot.
End of boring bit

Wow that was boring and self-involved. I do hope you didn't read it. And if you did.... What are you doing with your life? However I think you look very nice tonight. Your skin looks amazing. Can I smell you? Would you mind if I have some of your hair to put on the shrine I have in my basement with photos of you plastered all over the wall, lit by a hundred candles? It's not weird or anything. X
