Today has been a day of two halves. It started off sweetly by my two boys and I joining me down at the start of the Seamie Weldon 5k Run/Walk. This year I was to be in the " walk" section but was delighted to see all my old running buddies, very aroused at the sight of Gentle Gary and cheered up to see Jolly Joan's smiling face. I could feel the excitement and nerves of those undertaking their first 5 k, 2 years after I had completed mine. I was envious of the incredible buzz they would get afterwards. I suggested naively that the boys might like to have a photo with their mother going over the finish line but they gave me a look like they do when I suggest they eat broccoli ! I met up with Marie the Moocher, who was only too happy to accompany me as they took off with their friends . Off we went catching up on the chat as basically everyone passed us, but we were happy out in the sunshine alongside Lovely Leona.To my immense pride my boys crossed their first finish line...
