Ouchy!

Miles I am supposed to run: 8

Miles I actually ran: 7.2

Time spent trying to put make-up on my legs: 23 minutes

I joined the top group (7miles) at my running club today, and I survived :). I know that I got to make this decision, and it's not really that big a deal, but as a kid I was never in the top group for anything. So I am quite chuffed with myself for this, and the fact that I was able to keep pace with them all.

So I had a lovely 7 mile run this morning chasing my peers across grassy parks. Frolicking through commons with grass that was knee high. I felt like a kid again. 

Then I noticed, my ankles were a little itchy. I looked down, and saw my legs were covered in big red blotches. Hives. Great.

So I have spent the last half an hour sitting in a freezing cold bath, trying to soothe my legs. I can't wear trousers because they irritate my legs more, especially as it's no hot today. So I am off to the pharmacy, in my shorts, with legs covered in big red blotches, to try and get some antihistamines. Lucky I'm not that self-conscious...

On the plus side, at least I can catch some Pokemon on my trip to town. I was trying to be all cool and grown-up today, so I didn't play Pokemon while out for my run.
