Good day today. I had a looooooong list of things to do - nothing special; the usual shopping, haircut, tidying washing, yada yada yada - and here I sit in the evening with all but two of them crossed off. AND furthermore in addition moreover also; once I've finished typing this, the entry of 'write blog' will also be history!! That just leaves 'the washing' tomorrow and I am a gentleman of leisure......that and twelve miles that it.
It's always nice going to the hairdressers. Kath - as it turns out - is also a runner, and shared the tarmac with me in both Manchester and Newcastle. Regretfully - and may I say, very sensibly - I will be trudging the streets of London alone (you know what I mean) but it's nice to exchange training stories while she is 'giving me a number four' (that is not meant to sound pervy......which of course it doesn't........just the way some people's minds work....but not mine of course). She is up for the Great North Run again, and I have to confess that despite my pledge of the London Marathon being the last 'big one' and never again, I am tempted to have another crack at it! Let's face it, to train for London I am going to be doing in excess of a half marathon every Sunday, so Newcastle won't be quite as scary a prospect.
Anyway, first things first.....!
I'm also in a good mood as I've just seen a top movie. You know those films where even the title gives you basically the entire plot, inclusive of the schmaltzy ending? Well this was just such a film; utterly, totally, completely predictable; and I LOVE IT! If you haven't seen 'Frends With Benefits' I can highly recommend it for those rainy/chilly/oh stuff it, even 28 degrees in the shade and beautiful days! Look out for the mix-cd, it is the most uniquely romantic one I have ever heard; wish I'd thought of it!!
Anyway; that's enough of talking to you, got to get an early night for the big run tomorrow morning....the nerves are already jangling.....
71 days to go......
