Quite possibly the most feeble run ever
Saturday’s planned 8 miler was postponed due to it being a wee bit breezy outside. In fact, we had the whole range of weather on Saturday. Wind, rain, hailstones, snow and sun. I attempted to go to the shop twice but each time only got as far as the front gate. I did, however, manage to make it to the pub later on in the evening. Funny that.
I get drunk enough to not remember getting home nor the bet I apparently lost, leaving me in debt to Dave for the princely sum of 3p but I think he’s lying as he still hasn’t told me what the bet was for although I have a vague feeling it has something to do with the Spongmonkeys.
I am too hungover on Sunday to make up for Saturday and I spend the day eating square crisps and I’m still feeling like shit on Monday and I tell myself it doesn’t matter as Sunday is my official rest day and Monday is a Bank Holiday and Bank Holidays are officially rest days and today I get up reasonably early and decide to go out for 6 miles but my big iPod decides not to work today and I’m not getting my Shuffle back until tonight when me and Tracey go out for free beer at a geek thing and I only have 45 minutes’ worth of songs on my phone and they’re not even songs I want to play and so I turn on the radio on my phone but the reception is shit so I’ll have to listen to the songs on my phone and I think I’ll just do the 3 mile route and see if I can get round it in 30 minutes and I get outside and I go .98 of mile and I want to stop and I think shit that’s no good and at 1.07 I do stop to walk and I think bloody hell, that’s feeble, and I decide to turn round and just go home and I’m hoping Amazon haven’t tried to deliver my new saucepans while I’m out being really feeble and I’m wondering if the agencies will phone today with various job offers which isn’t really likely as I’ve only been for one interview, which did go well but isn’t the job I really really want as the agency said that they’re still discussing the geek job and deciding whether to offer it to someone like me or to a proper geek and I think they really really want to offer it to me and I walk most of the two miles I’ve been out for and I think I can probably forget about Saturday’s 15 mile race. Oh dear.

i nearly got blown off tower bridge on my 9 miler on saturday.
hope you get your tunes back soon…
Nice work on the pub run :-/
I’m glad that the mini version of you sat on my shoulder forced me to run Saturday…
Only a week ago you ran 14 miles so the 15 miles are in the bag. The pub run is just getting in your carbohydrate loading a bit early
Best of luck with the Geek Job. I want a Geek Job.
Thanks HK but I think I’m going to have to bail out, I don’t think I can manage 15 miles on a terrain I’m not used to.
Phil, you don’t want to be a geek, don’t lie. You like playing in the mountains and doing things in your lab.
did you get your ipod back?
