Date debrief: I turned up half an hour early and texted him to let him know (continuing my 6 month long 180 of being early apart from that one time last Saturday). He came over early and we set off for a run. It was very different from our last run together, he actually ran at a pace that I could keep up with him AND have a conversation, unlike the last time when I was sweating like a race horse after a mile smile We ran and chatted, that was nice actually. Then we went to the pub for dinner, really great food and good beer. We chatted about just general stuff, it was fine. Dh said he had a migraine so it wasn't going to be anything deep and meaningful. Then we walked back to the station and he told me to run across the road to make sure I wouldn't miss a train so I just got a super quick hug.
Hm, the running slowly for me was definitely new, the date itself was fine but not amazing, there wasn't the warmth I felt during our walk on Sunday, but then he did have a bad headache. And he did say 'just to let you know I'll be leaving on Saturday about 4.30 or 5', so he definitely listened when I asked him to help me out with letting me know ahead of time what his leaving plans are!
