We've had more than our usual share of heavy rains this "summer", and therefore nobody needs to envy us the few sunny days that we've seen so far :-)<br />As for my achievement, I really felt rather pleased with myself. I was not able to replicate this for the actual race (where I came in nearly 7 minutes slower than O.K.), but it was still an achievement for me.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-89223419578722268412016-07-17T00:16:00.758+02:002016-07-17T00:16:00.758+02:00What a lovely day!

Well I was until I remembered the first paragraph about the run. I can think of few things I'd rather do less.
