A hesitant comeback!

Not quite a dramatic comeback. This space has been very quiet lately and for good reason. I ran today for the second time in 25 days - outdoors. I made time on a treadmill 8 times. 7 in India and once elsewhere. I also caused 2 treadmills to break down - who knew one could overheat a treadmill when its on maximum??? I will have this story and much more in a few days :-)

12k in 50 minutes this morning. I want this to be happy - because this blog has been so grey for so long so I will leave you with a few things that I didnt know about myself.

French fries eaten in tandem with a Toblerone is comfort food (as are winter Eve apples with Chamomile tea)

I whine when I'm cold - *alot*.

I have the smallest feet on an adult female - and wearing the smallest available mountain boots, when they are still 2 sizes too big, and climbing 800 steep steps will leave your thighs aching for days - even though your a runner.

I have the worst memory of anyone I know.

I loathe make-up. This one is surprising. Spending 10days in the great outdoors and not wearing a speck of it is liberating. I can live without a mirror.

I can live without being "connected" but I cant live without a hairbrush.

That running in high altitude when its very very windy and cold makes me fall backwards because I dont have enough weight to support myself up.

I cry - *alot*

Brothers are the best!!
