zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

On the way out to catch a movie last night, Kim asked if I was running with anyone today and the answer was a forlorn negative.  But on checking my phone having watched the excellent Salt with Angelina Jolie, there was a text from Mark asking if I wanted to run in the morning.

Sorry Bro, what was the question?

Doubly downhill

It had been hissing down with rain all last night and generally blowing a hoolie, so it was with some surprise that the day was glorious by the time Daren and I met at Jack & Jill.  That doesn’t mean fabulously sunny, mind, but rather just that it was marvellous to be out in!

We [...]

Humid

I’m clearly exaggerating, but it was (just) a little like running out into a swimming pool this morning.  It was warm and humid and everyone who said good morning to me spoke in a soft tone as if they didn’t want to disturb the surface of the water any more than they had to.

Little wonder

Earlier in the year circumstances conspired to prevent me from accompanying Daren on one of his new running circuits and rather than try to figure it out on my own, I waited patiently for his return.

Number of runs: 92 (63, 67) although to be fair I [...]

It’s late and we’ve been out for a delicious dinner at Cliff & Nessie’s place but I need to quickly write about today before it passes and I get behind again… you may have noticed that the previous post, although dated Wednesday, has only just hit the [...]

Manila antelopes

I think there must be something decidedly odd about my mind.

The short trail of words that links Manila to manilla to envelopes to antelopes via envelops (which is what antelope poo does when you tread in it), is indicative of how my mind views the world given half a chance.  Which it often gets.

And I [...]

Stripey

I’m finding it difficult to see what I’m writing on the computer this morning.  This is not my eyes playing up, but rather a combination of a highly reflective screen and a bright Paul Smith striped shirt!

I have a couple of good reasons to be stiff tomorrow, so I got on the running machine [...]
