I am officially the world’s most feeble person
Oh my, I even outfeebled myself today. Half a mile! Oops. What can I blame it on? Overtraining? Ha ha, hardly. Time of day? Maybe, I tried running at midday before and it didn’t happen then either. I blame my neighbour though for doing her garden for ages and I was waiting for her to go back in so I could put my Garmin in the garden to get a satellite without being held up for half an hour listening to things that pensioners like to talk about which in our case, living here, we talk about the man round the corner who got murdered and how his ex-girlfriend who used to work in the local shop found him strangled in the bath.
But she was pottering (do young people potter, or is it a word only to be used in association with the over 60s?) for ages so I went to the park and sat on the bench and waited for a satellite. (When I go back to work tomorrow and people ask how the bathroom installation is going and I say it isn’t and they ask what I did instead, I’m going to say I went to the park and waited for a satellite and see how many strange looks I get.)
So I had kind of gone off the idea of going for a run by then but as I was in the park, thought I might as well but I gave up really quickly. I probably shouldn’t blame it on innocent old ladies though. I should probably blame it on the bottle of wine I had last night.
Ho hum.

A 3 song run 😛
Cheeky! They were really long songs, honest. Damn, my time is up there, can’t get away with it after all 🙂

Any running adventures this week?
Aah, I’ve been seriously lazy this week 🙁
I was going to go out for a run on Tuesday night but somehow all motivation left me. Probably not helped by the fact that it was grey and raining all day long. Can’t remember what Wednesday’s excuse was except that I had to wash my hair.
I’ve been eating too much cr*p so I’m going to give it up for another month after this weekend. Not giving up drinking though as that would be silly 🙂
Anyway, I did 0.7 of a mile this week, don’t want to overdo it, do I? Hee hee. 😉
