Ethereal realisation

Ran out of everything* (resolve + enthusiasm) by the end of the week -

  1. No run on Wednesday or Thursday
  2. No swim tonight
  3. Increasing numbers of coffees and cakes/ biscuits

Reason = work** or rather I allowed work to be consumptive.

Still I did manage 60 miles of cycling, 6.5 miles of running and 40 lengths of swimming.

Also have got myself a 'running mate', Anthony, who I will be going out running with at weekends - starting next Sunday at 9.30am (I am writing this so I do not forgot). Anthony, will be planning a route of between and 10 and 14 miles - which is going to be tough for me as a) further than I have run since March/ April and b) Anthony is faster than I am. It will be good to be challenged... other challenge this gives me is fitting in swim (surf) with Si!

Was good to catch up with royzy yesterday and hear of his trip to Bradford - you can read about adventures on http://www.royzy.co.uk/

* have just watched 'Unreported World' on Cult of the Thugs - Venezuela, Caracas, which it self followed an appeal for aid from DEC for people suffering in the DR Congo. So fully appreciate the scale of my exaggeration.

**Also appreciate I am fortunate to have a job; particularly one I enjoy.

I saw unreported world Venezuala too, and I agree, it allows for a better perspective on our own problems. They could exploit their problems by promoting vacations for adrenalin junkies?
