Marathong - I'm hoping that there were children involved in the disney fest? Rollerblading counts double, as does plodding in the rain - scientific fact.
Slightly cheered by Thin Spouse who's dropping everything at work to come to leavers assembly this afternoon, because he knows how much I don't want to go to be bullied by Creepy Chair- ahhhhh the spirit of chivalry is alive and well in leafy Tedd it would seem.
Police have alerted inter-plod.
FLR - will you have a chance to give mini Beelzebub a kicking at this leavers thing?
actually Damien Omen II - he was one of the reasons Kid A was last in long distance relay - he's a carp runner. saw Kid A smiling and talking to him tho ' he's just a much nicer person than his mum (not hard today). Maybe I'll go shopping with a wadge of cash, bound to cheer me up
Just got an e-mail from Nike saying they will only bill me once which is nice of them considering I still haven't managed to register....urrrgh
back from lunch...mmmm tuna
We all seem to be a bit fed up.
I advocate a large, communal punch-bag.
Hell, I could even smoke a cigarette, and I gave up 20 months ago.
:0(
Jase, I had tuna too.....spooky.
Is that like the music from the Twilight Zone? That'sa Spooky Tuna.
I'll leave now.....
Oh, and today was the first time I could walk down the stairs without my shins hurting. That week layoff must have done the trick.
But is it to soon to go back in the water???
I really feel like going for a big one tonight...it seems like I have loads of energy.
dun dun der...
Shins. Yup, know all about those hurting. I should break them in gently though - off road, preferably on grass, all the usual advice. You don't want to end up back in agony.
What's the new job, Jase?
Piano tuna?
Car engine tuna?
Not that smug though - chickened out of going to park as all the colleagues would have seen me. When will i stop feeling silly doing the run/walk thing? and when will i stop looking silly out plodding???
Piano tuna...that is funny. Well, it made me laugh anyway.
My new job is working for the police...oo'er
I know what you mean about the run/walk thing, though. When I first started off, I made a big show of looking at my watch when I was walking. Like I was interval training or something. Which I suppose I was!
The more I plod, the more I get used to being out there and I get less and less self-conscious.
I think doing the R4L helped too - made me realise that runners/plodders/joggers come in all shapes and sizes. And all with various shades of red face!
'I've just run 4 miles and I'm on my way home'
'Get off your fat **se if you think you can do any better'
'Come on then, you try it!'
'See if you can keep up'
'Of course i'm sweating, I'm doing some exercise....'
Now Thin Spouse is going to work on the PC, and Kid A is going to occupy the bathroom for 3 hours getting ready for leaver's disco - ahhh, there goes the ozone layer.
Kid B and I might go out and spend some money then I think - that's the only low cal way I can think of cheering myself up.
I love chew I love chew I love tuna sandwiches
(sorry - couldn't think of any other tuna jokes - it's pinched from Roger McGough)
I say this is a fish and poem forum isn't it?
"Eat tuna" ???
Nah, nor have I......
Now, though, I don't care, or am too short of oxygen to pay them any attention anyway.
A ferocious downpour / thunder storm has just started, I really don't want to get my NEW SHOES dirty, hope it stops!
Shiny new shoes....
I went out in downpour in my new/nearly old shoes last Thursday. It was my last plod, actually.
One youff tried to trip me up. One youff stood and laughed at me. When I flipped the finger at him, he said something that the moderator wouldn't like.
So I won't plod THAT route again.
Urggh.
FRL - yes, this is the poetry and fish thread. Envy you the spending. I'm saving up so that I can eat and drink and generally spend, spend, spend on my hols!
(he, he , he)
