Tan-tastic post race blues

I am eagerly anticipating the results being published from yesterdays race although I don't know why, I'm pretty sure the performance was lousy and I have quite possibly hit a new Personal Worst time.

The other half keeps reminding me that it wasn't the kind of race you could expect to do well in unless you started at the front with the elite folks. I just keep remembering how far I am from the elite runners.

In the meantime I have discovered an excellent race souvenir - a very hard tan line on my legs. I wore my 3/4 length running pants which come to just below the knee and I have developed a very deep tan on the calf which stops dead just below the knee and includes the lovely V shape where the pants cut in at the outside of the knee, it looks stunningly embarrassing. The other half reckons a half hour of sitting in the sun in a pair of shorts will even it out, unfortunately today is very much overcast, no chance of sun worshipping today.

At least I can hide it tonight as it's my weights work out night so I can wear my trackie bottoms.
