Only a short run again

Thursday 28 March  2013 - I have been out today for a short run only 3.5 miles. I went out about 4.30pm and it was a real effort as I felt so cold. Once out I wished I had gone out earlier as it wasn't as cold out as I thought it was. I was a little bit slower than my last run but still quite steady.

 My running partners have not been out at all this week (naughty people) perhaps this weekend we can make a start and go out next week as well. I beleive April is still not going to be to warm but if it is a few degrees warmer than February and March that will be good. 

This week has been quite difficult as we had Dad's funeral. It all went very well, the service was lovely and Mum managed very well as it was a very long day for her.

Today I am not feeling to good. I have a cold starting, something that I never normally get, and I think this week has caught up with me as  I have had time to reflect on the fact that it is now final, no more Dad.
I have included the poem we had in the funeral servicre as I feel it is really helpful.



Memories of the Heart
(Author Unknown)

Feel no guilt in laughter, he'd know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to.
He'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that he is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And he will live forever locked safely within your heart.
