A deal’s a deal, I suppose

I foolishly said on Twitter yesterday that I quite fancied going for a run today. I also said that when it came to today, I probably wouldn’t fancy it anymore. @LouisaWilliams4 piped up ‘I’ll do it if you do it’ or something like that and so I thought aha! a challenge (sort of), ok then, it’s a deal.

And so, this morning, even though I had one of the worst night’s sleep ever (although worst night’s sleep ever seem to be the norm these days), I put on my running gear and went for a run. After putting on my running gear, I almost took it off again because my new running tights were so tight they were squeezing the fat out of me like liposuction or some other cosmetic procedure and they were almost like normal tights, not running tights, and I wondered if maybe I should put my jeans over the top but I took the risk of people laughing at any VPL I might have had and at least they were so tight they gave me a flat tummy (without needing a drastic cosmetic procedure) and so I went outside.

As soon as I got to the pavement there was a cyclist coming along and I thought you needn’t think I’m moving out of the way, you can get on the road, it’s hardly busy but she just kept cycling and I just kept running until she eventually stopped and stood at the side and I said thank you even though she was giving me a dirty look and I thought YOU WERE ON THE PAVEMENT, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD WHERE CYCLISTS BELONG, SO DON’T GIVE ME ANY DIRTY LOOKS MISSY and then I carried on and after a mile I decided to walk and I went past a church and two old people were carrying flowers out and I thought oh, maybe they’re putting flowers on a grave and maybe it would be disrespectful to start running again now and so I carried on walking but then I thought huh? they were carrying the flowers away from the church and into the car so maybe they were stealing the flowers from dead people’s graves and I thought BAD OLD PEOPLE! BAD BAD BAD! and then I decided to run the last .25 of a mile back and I haven’t heard from @LouisaWilliams4 yet so I hope she’s kept to her side of the deal and hasn’t reneged on it like a friend did on Twitter a few weeks ago when they promised me a kingdom for finding some chocolate things and although I found them, I got fuck all.
