Wet and miserable this morning, but had decided I was going to do big run – so no excuses was out pounding the pavement at 8:30 this morning. Got about a mile or so in and ran down a road which had a stream running over it, so 10 mins in had freezing cold wet feet – could have started better….
Ran round a 9 mile route today – so another record weekend run – strangely this route was one I used to do on my bike as a “training” run a couple of years back, and now I am running it – seems weird. Had numerous pains today, left knee, right knee, back but worryingly the balls on my feet were starting to ache. This is something which I was dreading, and I have quite a problem with my balls so to speak – just hope it was more imagination that real pain. Run was quite alright although when I got to the last few hundred metres my body just wants to collapse.
One problem with a “big” run, this one was around 1.5hr – was that around an hour in I needed a wee. Well when you are on your feet and 3 miles from civilisation there is not alot you can do. So luckily, I was on a quiet road, so just nipped in the hedge – its handy being male.. But over the course of a marathon I guess I’ll have to queue up somewhere??
Spent 2.5 hrs in the cinema just after (although spoilt myself with a SPAM sandwich in between) and legs are not _too_ bad just now, but really were quite aching while I was sat there, although cinemas have a fair bit of leg room nowadays, but I should think so at 7.50 for adults and 6 for children (and I had to pay 80p for some “raybans”)…
Went to see Avatar today, well as usual was very disappointed. What they have done with the cgi people its very impressive – you almost forget they are not actors – but the 3D – 3D is supposed to be like real life? This was just showing a depth of picture which made everything look really fake. Rubbish. Can’t see why “people” have been raving about it – its nothing like real 3D life, very disappointing. The story couldn’t carry it either… Thumbs down…
