After a week of no running tonight was the night to get the legs back on track!
Not needing much persuading me and the girlie's took to the woods for a gentle foray in the wilderness. Ha! It was to all intents and purposes a lush night except for one thing. Scotland's most feared and terrible creature..............The midge
The blood sucking, bitey, flappy, creatures. They were everywhere! For those that have never had the pleasure of their company they swarm all around kind of like a mini mosquito's bust faster and deadlier :)
The run started well. Pace was good and we were all having a chuckle but they were everywhere! But then the magic happened. Not only does one of the girls "not do" mud but she most definitely doesn't do midges. The sheer panic after swallowing some was hilarity to the rest of us but, gagging and almost vomiting about had us on our knees.
You see these moments are the ones that keep me going. Being able to laugh at each other has made me realise what an amazing group of girls these are and what good friends they have become. There's no judgement, no bitching or backstabbing just pure and simple support and friendship. We have all come a long way since August when I first met them all and can honestly say without their motivation and support I'd never have stuck in the way that I have. It's testament to what friendships can accomplish. To all you ladies..................Thank you xx
