Keep on Running
Thursday, June 10th, 2010And not so bloody hot this time
Managed the whole rout again today, this time accompanied by my mate Alex. He has to get up even earlier as he walks over to my house first. Impressive. We managed the circuit in 23 minutes which is around 3 off where we should be and 20 off my final target run time. I know it does not sound very impressive, but please take into account that I am 3 stone overweight and have never, never been a runner. I used to take short cuts or simply walk at school cross country [which was a weird name for it as we ran on the streets [and I walked/took shortcuts]]. As it happens two of the people that I’m running with are cross country record holders [Norfolk and Somerset]. Out of practice and unfit, but surely soon to be hampered by me! I’m also intending to get to the point where I can run six times a week. Time will tell.
And Why Go Through ALL OF THIS
Fat people annoy me, me inclusive. My weight annoys me and has done for around 15 years. I yo-yo with my size, whilst I remain fairly fit. Every time I get close to where I want to be something happens and it all goes pear shaped [literally]. So I hope I can build a habit that is no a chore and then a good state of health will follow. It also means that dealing with hard decisions after twelve hours of filming can be made properly because I will be thinking strait.
And Filming
Waiting to hear from producers is killing me, it really is. But I know that it’s all going to work out. I just need to be more busy. A lot more busy! Arghhhhhhhhhhhh.
Laters,
