Running commute #2 and a half

Although Ben kindly sent me a more scenic route for me to follow on my running commute, I decided to be an ungrateful bint and disregard it and stick to my usual route, due to me thinking that going into a park in Hackney/Clapton/Murder Mile in the evening might not be the best idea I’ve ever had so I decide to do my usual route although it’s only been usual once but I decide to do that route and try to do it without stopping and looking at my map and getting lost.

And as I’m on my usual route, as usual by the time I get to Angel which is ooh, all of less than a mile away, I’ve had enough (moan moan). I’m thirsty (moan moan), I’m too hot (moan moan) and my shoulder which has been aching all day (moan moan) is hurting again (moan moan) and I don’t think I can last the whole distance.

But on I plod past all the people drinking outside pubs in the sunshine and I’m thinking I wish I was sitting outside a pub in the sunshine, and the roads are v. busy and I have to keep stopping for traffic and people (moan moan) and the traffic and people are getting on my nerves (moan moan) and I get to Dalston Lane and I get paranoid that someone will mug me for my rucksack in Hackney if I’m looking weak and feeble and they’d probably mug me anyway, even if I was looking like a finely tuned athlete, and I don’t want to be mugged for my rucksack as it has my keys in it and I don’t want to have to get a locksmith out again and it has my phone in it too and I won’t be able to call anyone and say waa I’ve just been mugged and it has my travelcard in it and I won’t even be able to get the bus home and I’d have to walk three miles on my own without anyone to say waa I’ve just been mugged to, so when I see the train station, I go up to the platform and twenty minutes later I’m at home wondering whether to have hot chocolate or a glass of wine and so I have both. Not in the same glass though.
