Training update

My knees hurt. Lots. I think it’s because my legs are so spindly that they can’t support my body weight, despite the fact I only weigh 11 stone.
Was at another office in Chatham for the day yesterday. Felt like I was retracing the steps of a Stuart king as I travelled back to Londinium via Rochester (and Argos Extra) in my Chevrolet. Which sounds like a good car but as Colin pointed out, it’s just a Daewoo with a different badge. In my crumpled suit and sensible hatch back, I looked every inch the travelling salesman. My dad would be proud.
By the time I got home and went to the supermarket (taking advantage of the jalopy to visit Tesco and stock up on athlete’s food such as steak pies and sausages – spent £67! When the apocalypse comes at least I’ll be well fed), I had just enough time to rush out to meet the guys (and ladies) for a drink to celebrate Im’s birthday. 30 years old. Seems like only yesterday we were getting drunk in the Garage for my 21st….
Anyway, crux of the matter, no training yesterday, although did do 8.5 kms on Tuesday and am out again tonight if not trapped in work. One of the disadvantages of being qualified for business cards (woohoo!) is that I now get in after a day off to 20 new emails. It’s just over a week until the race – am starting to wish I’d done more. A bit like my uni finals. And my dissertation. And my A-Levels.
