socks pulled up

after reading swiss's insightful comments to my last post, i had a bit of a talking to myself- after finishing my second peanut butter and orange biscuit, freshly bake yesterday. in fact, due to all the supportive comments i've had since ol' fat leg turned up, i realised that i've just got to get on with things.

tea and biscuits finished and off to town for some retail therapy, gaiters for forth coming trip. for some reason i don't mind running with cold wet legs but walking like that just seems uncivilized. back home and trainers on. made sure the run wasn't too 'easy'. tasted metal and sweat stung my eyes. but feeling a lot better than i did 12 hours ago.

thanks for all the good advice and support over the past few week fellow blogites. i promise to be less whingy and repetitive....for a few days at least.

I think you are allowed to whinge! I am sure J prefers you winge on here than to her.

SO the 5m easy became hard did it?

Well done for getting out there. You get one done and it all seems better. I find this especially true with Monday's run. Getting the week off to a flyer always helps me feel positive.

Lol at cry baby!

Gaiters! Something I thought I'd never own but snow up trouser leg whilst walking is no fun.

Ice axes and crampons at the ready?

I can imagine! I think getting J and A together a bad idea. Make it worse by adding Glyn!

Simon Lewis said...

If you get rich, can you buy me a new bike?

Runningbear said...

Good to hear fat leg held up so well on your run. Will you be able to get those gaiters on?
Back to it girl, looking forward to reading more of your running toils..

Kate - Be as whingy and repetitive as you need to be as long as it helps you get through. We can handle it. :-)

Mmmh, peanut and orange biscuits! You wouldn't have the recipe by any chance? My Mum'll be back from Cairns this afternoon. LOL
