My tip of the week -

Do not spend an hour and a half doing your long slow run (with a last 3k kick home) before dawn on Saturday,

Then follow it with two hours walking around a shopping center,

Then follow that with three hours on your feet in your non-cushioned boots on tiles baking, (black forest cookies - yum!)

Then follow that with a three hour walk and talk-fest with your BFF,

Then spend an hour on the floor rolling around trying to stretch some of the stiffness out of your legs and realise that it's 9 o'clock and you still haven't had any dinner,

Then stay up late crocheting a rug for your son's GF and watching Wimbledon,

Then get to bed really, really late and find your husband awake and frisky ...

... And expect to wake up early the next day to go for a run.

Chances are you'll sleep through your alarm! (oops)

At least I had an awesome Saturday run :)

    We, runnerS, aren't afraid we have to run at the weekend :) You are right, sometimes I'm busier on Saturday than other days.
    Have nice runs!

    Sounds like a busy day!! I feel like that some weekends, you just start with a run or some other exercise and just keep going. It's exhausting.

    You are always so busy! Hats off to you for doing everything and skipping a run. I'm a very bad runner as I put everything else second to fit in with my weekend runs. Really bad me.

    Frisky husband. That is my husband's name. I would have missed the alarm too.

    This was so funny but I absolutely lost it when I got to the 'awake and frisky' part. Hahahahaha! Men and their timing.

    At least your day was a variety of well rounded activities. ;-)
