Helloha!
More running this morning and no stitch! Wah hey! Again I ran more than I walked, and changed my route alittle. So it's all good. Took the weekend off. I really didn't enjoy last sundays run, I can't decide if it was because I was genuinely tired - or if it just wasn't the usual time for me to go running. I'd like to get to some level of fitness with the running so I'm not going to do anything I don't enjoy. Full stop. I'll perhaps save the weekend for swimming when it's back up and going - which will be August time. Yey!
I was going to go swimming tonight - but linksfield swimming pool is just 25 meters. It's very odd swimming like that. My arms have got skinnier, so I shall have to take it easy when I'm going back to the swimming.
Till next time folks!

I went running on thursday morning and did quite well. Managed more than I thought. But then I went running this morning and only managed a wee bit. It was quite warm and I hadn't had anything to eat since about four yesturday, so I think that had something to do with it.
I was going to go swimming this weekend but I don't know if the pools open. So maybe not.
I bought loads of stuff for knitting with (bad Jakky!) so I might post something once it's made.

I've got new running shoes!
But I've only been out on them one. I went to 'Run 4 It' and they made me walk the shop floor in my bare feet.
I haven't been out on them much though. I've got a bad cold. I felt really rough on friday night, so it was an early night. I'll try to get out by the end of the week though.

More running!
Went running this morning and on tuesday as well. It's been a very long week this week. I'm absolutely shattered. I'll be very glad for this week end.
I've got a new job. Working with NHS Education. I compile quality reports and such. So it looks like fun.
I've got my glasses! I've got brass ones to match my hair, nearly, and dark red ones. I never thought my eyesight was that bad, and it probably isn't, compared to you know, people that are blind or who have worse eye sight than me. I used to be able to read the Central station arrivals board from standing out side the station on the kerb, now I have to be standing directly under it with a ladder and an eye glass. The blokie can't see the difference in the glasses, but when I'm wearing them everything looks in focus but smaller. They are also quite small frames so I can see around the frames. It feels like I'm wearing a mask, I wonder if I should try to rob banks, or save small children from burning inferno's with always the knowledge that my identity will remain a secret.

I go running in the morning - to be sung to the tune of 'If I had a hammer.'
Went running again this morning, it's really quite refreshing! Saw the same chinese couple down neer the beach. They're quite normal looking,you know, they don't look like a prozzie and her joe. They're wearning anoraks for a start. But they nod and say good morning like it's two in the afternoon. It's quite bizzare.
I think, even though I have only been running for a few weeks, I should somehow be running better. I probibly am it's just with the mp3 player I've stopped noting the time. I managed the hill up to our door. Hill is a pretty strong word for what is probibly a 0.2 degree incline, but it's over a long way. About 50 meters. I've cooled down with a couple of stretches this moring and it feels like it's helped alittle. I thought I'd done something to my back last time, to be honest. But I had a bath last night and it's not troubled me today.
There were a lot of runners this morning, and the odd person who looked like they should've stayed in their bed. I tried drinking a couple of glasses of water - kind of warm - but I still got a murder of a stitch. Am quite tired this afternoon as well, but I think that's more to do with not having enough to do at work. V. boring and it's my last day! Yey!
My dad's comming down this weekend. Just for the day I think. Don't know if we'll do anything. I need to go get my bus ticket so we'll be doing that, so after the dizzy hights of doing that we'll see if we're up to anything after.
Running in the morning.
I was going to go running yesterday but the blokie reminded me I'd promised to go to the pub and watch the Brazil vs. Croatia game. Well, he watched it I read my book. He'd met freinds in the pub so I did say to him he should have phoned me and I'd have gone for my run - Him having people to sit with and all. But if he want's my company - even though I'm book reading - I must be fabulous.
So, yeh, anyway the point of this is... I went running this morning! Me! At half six! I thought I'd be the only one about but it was quite busy at seven, with deliveries of rolls to the local shop and stuff. It feels quite weird though - like I've forgotten to do something, or have to rush home to do more than clean the dishes for my dad coming up. I was out for a little less than half an hour but I didn't do any warm up or cool down. I think that's why I'm feeling abit stiff. I also had the most monumental stitch, which was completely knackering and wouldn't go away. Next time I get some money I'm going to get some nice running gear, a set of leggings and a top that fits better than my brothers old nike wind breaker. I definately need to get a proper sports top and something to hold the mp3 player. I've been tucking it down in my bra. Which if I decide I don't like a song or something is going to get me some seriously funny looks - if it hasn't already. By twenty past seven I was back in the house and had my shower.
I'll try again on friday - to get up early. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would!
More soon,

Shortarse does it to music
I got meself a new gadget. An mp3 player. It's very small, smaller than my mobile phone, but my mobie's a brick by todays standards (the phone's very yesterday.) I was supposed to go running yesterday, but didn't, I definately went running on wednesday, just didn't blog about it.
I think the music does make a difference so I'm going to down load some more. I did three minuites running (or however long the song was) and then a song walking. I have atleast twenty minuites worth of songs, so was out that wee bit longer than usual. I'm comming out in lots of spots so I think my systems still getting used to running for the mo. The player has lot's of songs already on it - 'free' apparently - but they are all really bad bands that sound like someone more famous, does that make sence?
I'll download lots of songs and see which ones work. Today was very much trial and error. Some songs I find you can run to others you can't.
Signing off
