Apathy...............

I've had two days cooped up in a conference room in London, very interesting, but I really wanted to go for a run, as I haven't been since Weds last week. Now I've woken with a very slight headache, I'm starving hungry (although been up for some time now, so perhaps should have just eaten something then) and, while part of me wants to go for a run, a big part of me is feeling like staying on the couch.

I guess I'm posting because I know that if I admit it to all of you, then I will push myself to get off the sofa and have a run in the snow, it's only a few inches, after all. And I know that if I can get out of the door, I will enjoy my run and I'll come back feeling invigorated.

Hmmmmm, I'm feeling slightly more optimistic already. Maybe I'll just go and eat a banana and have some water, who knows what might happen then.......................

Looking forward to reading your blog in about an hour saying that you were glad you went for your run. Good luck Vixiej

Thanks PeaBea. I just posted my blog, as I was still running 'in an hour' ;-)

Put some good music on while you get changed into your running gear and then get out there!

I hope you have a good run today. :)

it was great, thanks nativestar, I really enjoyed it after I settled down and stopped assuming I'd fall over and break something!

Sue, you know me so well. I just needed a kick in the pants :-)

I hope you had a good (and safe) run. I think the snow is ok, its just when it's been around for a day or two and has been packed down that it becomes dangerous. The soft snow makes for quite slow running though, like soft sand, hard work!
