What a lovely way to start the weekend. I ran 5km to the pharmacy and had 15 minutes of queueing time to recover and soak up the sunshine before going in to collect Mrs M’s prescription.

It was a quick sprint around the corner to Mrs M’s house who was very grateful for her medicine and rewarded me with a smile.

Running home was a bit of an obstacle course, dodging bikes, dogs and children as lots of people were out for their daily exercise.

I made it back with 12km under my belt, a face as red as my t-shirt and the feeling that I’d started my day off by doing something useful. Just what the doctor ordered.
