well it's sunday again, and i've been sanding the floor all morning just to avoid going out running....just too many dull aches....venture downstairs every hour or so to get a snack....then more sanding....need cat food too....so i can go and get that, and i won't have to go out running for a while.....but weird thing is, when i feel like this i tend to have a good run after all....probably all the snacks, but think there's something more too it...
just glad i don't have to do a long one today....

it always feels like it might be a really good idea to push it further tomorrow.....running is there to be enjoyed, though....i know i can run faster than i do (i find this out whenever someone looks like they might overtake me...i make sure they don't and it doesn't hurt as much as i might imagine!!) but enjoying it is really the most important thing.... i didn't go out today, i had a rest and feel better for it....can have a nice 17 in the morning and i'm looking forward to it....i have just over 2 hrs of live underworld to listen to and i hope it rains!! and i can feel all virtuous and unusual when i go to work haha
(oh yeh, and all painful when i walk home...)
i've got a nice little md player now, and plenty of trancey stuff (which all sounds the same so you don't know what you're getting sick of
the underworld is a live gig from 1996 in germany....i'd forgotten about it until last month....was like an extra birthday...but even better as i wasn't a year older ...
as for the down sides to running with music....it's when the headphones go crackly in one ear....
had such a cool run too...did 16 miles in 2h10....v. pleased ...i start quite slowly and start to getfaster at 5 miles ish.....wish i could sort out that start...think it's a confidence thing....did the last mile in 6.30 and it felt wicked....gets easier with time....weird eh??
I'm pretty impressed that you're able to put in a 6.30 last mile after 15. Going off slowly is most probably the best thing to do as you conserve your energy for later in the run. Happy running!
i think the thing about starting is that i'm never sure i'm not just going to mess up after half an hour or so, so i play safe.....
oh, and happy running to you too!!

Always something new- never get bored (except I get fed up with the pond-life IQ levels of the local radio DJs).
Recently, I've started running once a week with a v. sexy guy from work, which certainly takes your mind off things!
I am shocked 'v. sexy guy'... 'takes your mind off things'???!!!
What is this forum coming to??
We aren't just pieces of meat you know!!!
Outrageous!!!

when i used to go to the gym, i'd sometimes come across the cambridge lightweight crew.... not bad....could have done with a bit more meat, though
maybe i need to get out more
oh yeh, as for music etc...the bbc dramatisation of the lord of the rings is pretty wicked....and 13 hrs long, so you'll finish your run (unless you _really_ need to get out more) before the ring goes anywhere near mount doom.....maybe a comforting thought that there are hobbits worse off than you....maybe the l to b people should try it!
