Sunday - I ran 20 miles then went carb crazy!!

It is now Tuesday and my thighs are still in some pain from running the Spen 20 on Sunday morning. It was a 20 mile run around the West Yorkshire Hills and I managed to get around in an okay time of 2hrs 54mins (tbc)......I'll be honest, I was pretty sceptical that I would make it in one piece if at all - the furthest I had run before Sunday was 15 miles when my knee hurt enough to pay to see a physio and that was 3 weeks ago! Having not run since I couldn't get out of my head that 20 miles/ 3 hours constant running is a pretty long way.....but, I did it!

I am supposed to be doing the Hull 20 this Sunday, and the thought of that was a non starter yesterday. I have a feeling I may be there at the starting line now though! - bonkers.

Tuesday - Chicken Fried Rice & Vegetables

Jo and I are postponing valentines until the weekend as we want to make a day of it....to be honest it's another excuse (as if we need one) to eat good food, drink merrily and have fun!! So tonight was a staple of ours - the trusty stir-fry!! This time with chicken fried rice - excellent work Jo! See you on Saturday for valentines treats when I am in the kitchen!
