still not managing to get back to a regular running schedule. so many things coming up that need doing.. but you can always make excuses. or at least i can. to myself. and they sound so reasonable. i know i could get round all this with a little better organization and a modicum of commitment. i'm not going to hit 36min for the upcoming 10k now - and won't when this is how hard i try.
did get a good football session in last night - was a fairly low turnout and quite a warm night, so worked up quite a sweat chasing down as much as i could. i doubt the beer thereafter would have fallen into a normal training diet, but i'd not been down there for a while and it's good to catch up.
the intention was to run this lunchtime and the same tomorrow. however, i need birthday presents for my sister and nephew as well as something for father's day. so i've needed this lunchtime (and will need tomorrow's too now) to get out buying those. think i will need to run tomorrow morning before work, as the evening is given over to England's second game. like every foolish football patriot i am casually submitting my time and energy to supporting a cat-in-hell's chance that they might do well this time.
dieting off the holiday's excesses at the moment, so it's extremely frugal rations at all times. but also trying to to observe the Okinawa diet principle of never going under 30% full but also never over 80%.
don't think i was happier than when i was exercising every day and knowing i'd physically challenged myself. i'm still not a million miles from that, but it's certainly not happening as it was. just finished the book on fell-running and the commitment of the likes of Billy Bland and Kenny Stuart, let alone Joss Naylor, makes you shudder..
