What made you happy today?

I had 3 running goals for this year, to run a 5km in under 30 minutes, to run a 10km without stopping and to survive running a half marathon no time limit.
On the 4th of May I did the 10km with a personal best time, and today with the help of the training I've been doing for the half marathon I signed up for this coming August, I got my sub 30 minute 5km! OK so it was 29 minutes 57 seconds, but it still counts 😂

I don't think I've ever achieved goals I've set for myself in my life before 🤣 so I'm pretty happy about that. The training for the half marathon is very tiring though, I'm currently running 5 times a week!

It's lovely out though, nice and warm.

Well done. That’s great. Good luck with the half marathon. I’ve done two. I’d love to take up running again but a bad back has thrown that idea out of the window.

Thankyou! I'm sorry you can't run anymore, I have on and off back issues so I totally understand. Always amazes me how many muscles not in your legs that are used by running, after injuring mine lifting a bale of woodshavings 3 years ago I've got a bit of a pain roulette every day.
 
99% of the time I know my two goblins tolerate each other. I don't know quite how and I don't know which is the boss because the dynamic seems to change on an hourly basis but they tolerate each other and I'm good with that. And then there's days like today, when I go upstairs to say hi and they're sitting side by side in the hay pile having a munch.

So now I'm pretty sure the squabbles are all for my benefit to keep me on my toes, lol.

Finally, after long Covid delay @Betsy finally came to visit.
@Bradshaw Piggies and @VickiA joined us for an afternoon spring buffet and we were all dressed up :D
A good time was had by all all.
All husbands stayed safely behind Mr @Bradshaw Piggies who kindly wielded the camera.

I thought everyone knew what I looked like - as I’ve appeared in many forum met up photos over the years but then today brought it home that we haven’t had a forum meet up for a couple of years. But I’m pretty sure that we will soon be organising another one 😊

Went to Albert Dock in Liverpool today with @Betsy and Mr @Betsy .
They have some amazing sculptures. This one made me smile.
It was also a lovely day out together.

It was a very lovely day.

Anyone any idea what a few painted boulders placed on top of one another is supposed to signify? Can it even be called "art"?

I think I could do that and make pots of money.
I speak as one who considered getting a D for one art project at Scholl a brilliant result!

I once did a modern art picture of "Cardinals picking red plums by the Red Sea" my Art teacher was not impressed. I'd just coloured a page in my Art homework book in red pencil!

Love it! I used to do multi coloured squiggles. My art teacher said I had a good eye for colour but after several months of practising it maybe I should move on.:)) I was useless at art and really couldn't take it seriously as a subject. I droped it as soon as we were allowed to chose subjects to study.
