flu away!

well it has been a week and a half since i last ran!! this flu/ cold/ bug WE has been lingering but i feel needs a good run to shake the last remnants away!! so the plan is a wee 4 miler with andrew and the dog up in mugdock just to chase those cobwebs away!! plus i really, really need to go out there as my muffin tops are back with a vengance overflowing from the top of my hipsters like a well formed souffle! and my post mara 4 pack [i don't think i have those other 2 abs!] is lost under the bubblewrap of cellulite! What do you mean don't eat as much then?? lol!

and what about the disruption the postal strike is causing! i am still waiting on my nice new shoes! where are they?? i thought i'd definitely have them by now. really didn't want to run in old ones again as i haven't felt sciatica for a week or so, which really helps confirm for me it is the shoes.

on a happier note, a running buddy robert cuthbertson ran the great north half mara at the weekend and raised a whopping £2800 for breast cancer research. he ran through an injury too! his effort will certainly have saved lives. every bit counts! all so much appreciated. Please, please do contribute to this worthy cause...
