This week was the build-up to the Sham Rock and Run on Sunday. I started with 5K run on Monday along the streets around my house.

Cleaning up as you go along …
Or the theory of selective cleanliness... Different cooks have different patterns. Me, I like a clean kitchen, and I take the spare moments along the way to try and clean up what I can so there is less to do at the end.
