Right another run in the bag and a new personal best of 53.51. I missed the fist cp last time and guessed it at 5 mins but was actually under 3! not bad and I was on a high after that so kept pushing. I think I lost a bit of time on the return leg. Day dreaming a bit too much and then my back started to cramp up on me. I think this is because of the bed I'm using at the moment is a bit too soft for me and is causing me grief. I'm getting nice new mattress tomorrow and my boss has very kindly given me his old bedstead so I'm really hoping that will help.
But I can't take all the credit for this. Oh no. When I set off this morning I had blood in my eye. My housemate had come down this morning and imperialistly told me that I had left the kitchen in a mess last night. I looked around the kitchen. There was some clean washing up on the draining board and a small splatter of breadcrumbs on the side. "I spent hours cleaning this up on Saturday and now it looks a mess." I was told. This coming from a woman who the previous evening had decided to do her own washing up and after pouring out the dirty water hadn't bothered to clean up the huge amount of waste that had ended up in the sink. Which I cleaned up for her! A few breadcrumbs versus 2 day old soggy meat and pasta. Well alright "Jack" you want the kitchen sparkling you got it.... grr. Ok threats of domestic violence aside it did help with the run time.
And it wasn't just blood in my eye I ended up with. One of my toenails seems to have dug in a cut my middle toe. No serious damage but the first of many new scars no doubt.
Now it being a Monday should mean that I go to the gym this evening and start getting back into the swim of things but it is also a bank holiday and the parents have invite my sister and I over for lunch. Which could mean alcohol and heavy food. So might not be the best start to my new gym line up.....
