Confession

I must have read my last post and noted some of the points...as this evening I managed to get home from work on time. I wasn't tired and looked forward to the idea of going for a jog.

Fellow bloggers, please forgive me, it's been 2 weeks since my last jog.

In this time i confess,

- I have gone out with my mates-yes i know the shame
- I've stopped off in H&M in Oxford Cirus to check out Stella McCartneys 40 peice range [terrible by the way]
- and basically with so many hours spent working I have found every excuse under the book not to go out there and jog.

My penance:
A run in the cold this evening

========================
Actually I really enjoyed my jog this evening, i set out wih the intention of jogging about 2 miles. Get myself back in the groove. I really like these cold dry winter evenings and they like me. I think they keep my body temperature down which allows me to run with relative ease. I had loads of energy in my legs and i felt good.

First mile over with in under 10 minutes, but a stitch started to form in the usual right hand side, as i crossed the road to make my way back. I slowed down. The stitch continued. I walked a wee bit. I jogged again. Stitch remained but I kept going working through the mile and finished the 2 miles in 18:56:29.

I felt as fresh as a daisy and could have done more, bar the pain in my side. Oh that all my runs would be in the evening in this weather I would be flying. Alas not the case.

Good to be back though. Amen.
