Triple slacker
Although not so much on the running side, but definitely on the blogging side. You see, I have to confess. I’ve done three runs that remain unblogged. Oops. And now Shaun’s calling me a slacker and threatening not to draw his dinner unless I blog. So, what happened on those three runs? Not a lot really. I went out with Audio Fuel’s Shoot the Breeze for last Thursday’s three miler but the less said about that the better really. The music and the run. I don’t know which was more crap. The run, probably. At 42:55 to do three miles, that’s a pretty poor show and I probably can’t blame the music, although it didn’t help, certainly wasn’t my cup of tea (or glass of wine).
I further slacked at the weekend, preferring instead to while away the time indoors before making our way on the rain-soaked motorway to Folkestone to see
who was absolutely brilliant although I could have done without the women of a certain age in front of me bashing me with their oversized umbrella which they were trying to keep their oversized arses dry with.
Monday I attempted to make up for the weekend’s slackness by attempting to do the five miles my schedule had me down for. I replaced Shoot the Breeze for the 45 minute Full Tilt, ignoring the fact that it’s supposed to be for a hard workout. I quite liked this one. So much in fact that I took it out again for yesterday’s 3.5 miles, although I couldn’t be arsed to do 3.5 miles and so only did two, one of which was mostly walked.
Tomorrow I will be further slacking as Gary’s coming up to play Scrabble and we’re going to spend the day in Canterbury first being cultural and looking at cathedrals and going on river trips and stuff. That’s if I don’t get eaten by the big cats that we’re going to go and see later today.
Can someone teach me how to run again please?

I’m so lacking enthusiasm for exercise too. Trying to work up the energy to go to British Military Fitness by sitting at my desk wearing my kit to guilt-trip myself into doing it rather than going home and eating chocolate.
Must be going around, I haven’t run in weeks and keep telling myself its because of tendonitis when really it’s just down to me being a lazy slacker. Maybe we need August-a-thon to get us all on track again.
I only wish Icould get out there on a run, been injured for over a year with groin strain and it’s frustrating. I do find it easier going for a run with someone and you do tend to be motivated to go out and do it. Plus I’m unableto concentrate on the run if I had music on though I am a big music fan. I’m not familiar with Audio Fuel, will have to check them out.
It’s really easy to get sidetracked from a number of things. At least you still ran rather than skip running altogether.
