Running commute #6
Oh yes, I am hardcore. Two running commutes in a week and today’s one makes me especially hardcore as I did it with a hangover after spending the evening drinking white wine, red wine, lager, cherry beer and some strange green drink that the restaurant gave us. But because tomorrow is my birthday, fitting in a run and writing this blog before showering/washing hair/drying hair/putting on make up/straightening hair and getting out by lunchtime for my birthday pizza, only left me with four options:
1) Do it Friday.
2) Get up super-early.
3) Do it on Sunday.
4) Don’t do it.
2) is possible but still the timing might be a bit tight. 3) is probably the most unlikely thing in the world, due to having had been out drinking all day on Saturday. 4) isn’t the actions of a finely tuned athlete such as myself. So 1) it was to be.
And earlier in the week I had been wondering how I was going to manage three runs in a week as I have trouble getting out the door when I get home and stupid Niketown don’t answer their stupid phone so I couldn’t check if their running group was still going and then my saviour comes along in the form of the Runner’s World Running Club which is a group of runners of all abilities meeting up at Speaker’s Corner every Tuesday evening at 6:15-6:30pm to run around Hyde Park, so get yourselves down there, first run 8 January 2008. And if that wasn’t perfect enough, there’s even a visit to the pub after. So with that and a weekly running commute and my usual Saturday run, that’s my three runs a week sorted, hurrah.
