Yesterday when I was rather stressed out from conversations about my underperformer, I made myself feel better by buying bags of chocolates (freddo frogs, caramello koalas and mini twirls), filling a giant bowl and walking around my floor handing them around. While I was out getting the chocolates I also bought a pair of long rainbow socks.

I can highly recommend both of these things as mood improving activities.

Run today. No garmin, no ipod shuffle, just the phone. No tracker on the phone either. This was great except that I wanted to do walk-run intervals and lacked an app for same. I did it by feels and this wasn’t entirely successful, and I think I probably did slightly less running than I would have liked. I now have rather tight hamstrings and really need to bust out the foam roller.

And of course there were photos:
