On a prescription mission

I set off to do my GoodGym (not)parkrun finishing at the pharmacy to pick up Mr R's prescription. I ran a great 5k and felt set up for the afternoon. Until my phone died.

After picking up Mr R's prescription, I set off in the general direction of his home, hoping I'd remembered what I'd seen on the map! After a lot of wandering around not seeing Mr R's road, I stopped in a shop and luckily a lady told me exactly where I needed to go - it was the road opposite the shop! I'd already walked past it twice!

I left Mr R's prescription in the box by his door so there was no need for us to have any contact. I ended up running and walking about 11.5km, so thanks Mr R for giving me a reason to get out there on a chilly afternoon!
