November

[Sweder]

Whilst not a thing of outstanding beauty (me or the run) I'm never-the-less decidedly chuffed with myself for my heroic effort at the BHTT 5K this morning. Icy rain was driven into us by a foul wind on the inclines to freeze extremities and cause certain dangly body parts to seek refuge somewhere around the kidneys. I managed to drag myself round in a creditable 23:40, a mere 20 seconds longer than last weeks' best time (since the return from knee-gah!).

I deployed the i-plod on the run, a necessary evil today. A combination of carrot and stick - Zeppelin and Motorhead - did the trick. Hats off to Lemmy and the boys for coming up with another gem. I cranked this one up on the way to the park, getting the juices flowing and battering last night's ill-advised, last-minute doner kebab into submission.

Running up a street, running up a hill,
Hotel telephone running up a bill,
Chase my tail, catch me if you can,
Don't wanna mess with the Runaround Man

Getting too close getting too near,
Don't even know what I'm doing out here,
Going too fast never gonna stop,
Know how to roll and we know how to rock,
Chase my tail do the best you can,
You can't mess with the Runaround Man

Not as good as Rock Out but a pretty close second from their latest LP. Now for shedloads of coffee, the blissful solitude of my office and Sport On Five.
