Today I am feeling odd, almost low. It's a strange feeling kinda sad and depleted. I'm guessing it's related to the fact that I am just 1 day away from being EX staff here. Could be the damp, grey weather or my weight too I guess. Maybe a combination of the lot!
One thing that I do know I need to do, and v-rap hinted this yesterday, is get serious. I'm not going to get slimmer or faster or fitter or anything without putting in the work myself. Only I can do this.
I am expecting the 1st week or 2 at the new place to tire me but it may not. If I have time to watch TV (which we all have to agree is crap most of the time!) then I have time to exercise. I need to be proactive and productive and really knuckle down. No excuses. Just do it (as Nike say!)
So that's what I did!
Before lunch I had a chat with Leon ... always Mr Sensible and you sit there nodding thinking "I know this! It's common sense and sensible! So why don't I!?" Anyway we chatted and with his words lurking in the deepest darkest depths of my mind I went back to (coughs) work.
Then the time came for my final munchtime run. Yes after over 2years this was it. I have just one day left and that will most likely be a lunchtime diet coke farewell drink.
So off I went. Without having a plan I realised I was going to keep running as long as possible. I varied the route so had no idea where the mile markers were. As it is Thursday there is more traffic with the market being in town. This meant I had to wait for traffic lights at the roundabouts. So apart from these micro stops I carried on. Mile 1 was slow, mile 2 was less slow and mile 3 was the fastest mile. Mile 4 and I had to walk/run because I was tired. I could feel my shoulders tightening and raising and I was starting to slouch and do my waving hands thing!
In total it was 4.3m in 1hr 50secs and I was pleased and my timing was spot on! As I stopped and walked to the office it started to rain. By the time I has walked upstairs it was torential rain!
So that's that then ... my last run in town. Gone. Done. Dusted. Over. Tomorrow it will all be finished.
