Marathon woman

This morning on the radio I heard about a sixty two year old woman who had run a marathon every day for the last couple of weeks, or was it twenty six days? She reckoned that anyone could start to run marathons at any age.
Well not me! First of all, I don't know how she finds the time because she obviously doesn't break any speed records and I reckon that each one must take about four hours out of her day.
My day today has been fairly hectic. I got up early and went to Tesco to do my monthly shop then came home to have breakfast followed by an hour or so of pottering, tidying and sorting out the freezer drawers.
After that, I read the newspaper because Saturday is the only time I get the chance to do that. This was followed by a light lunch and then out into the garden where I spent some time spraying the greenfly on my roses with washing up liquid because they are now in bud and I don't want these critters spoiling them.
After hearing the weather forecast at lunchtime that said we would get some rain later today which would last all day tomorrow, I decided that I would go over to the garden centre with my shopping trolley to get a bag of compost for the large tub that I had taken for the elderly man round the corner. I had told him that I would get the plants and fill the tub this weekend so I thought I had better get moving if I wanted to beat the weather.
After returning and taking the compost round, there wasn't enough to fill the tub to the top, so off I went to the garden centre again, posting a couple of letters for him on the way. When I got back with more compost and the other plants he wanted, I planted up the tub and watered everything in.
Luckily, I beat the rain but it was past four o'clock by the time I got in and sat down for a cup of tea. I wouldn't have time to run a marathon even if I wanted to!
