Came across my blog after more than an year's hiatus and thought will punch in a few words. First of all....what was I thinking? The name of the blog! Well it is not bad, but I could have done better!
After prolonging any sort of physical exercise for the last few years, I finally have decided to give it a go. I went for a quick jog next to Thames last week....all the way to Horse Fair bridge in Kingston. Then, last Sunday it was a 12 km long jog/fast walking across Thames - starting from Surbiton, all the way around Hampton Court Golf Club and Hampton Court Palace and back home. It was quite a fulfilling outing but I would prefer not to do that very often :-) My legs ached for 3 days in a row!
It started getting really cold around here so I wanted to use that as an excuse to skip the running in the evening but my lovely wife wouldn't let go so easily. So I was prompted to buy some proper running clothes and base layers from Wiggle. Now that I have spent some really hard-earned quids on stuff that sounds like it is referring to water pumps than clothes (Aquaduct, Hydrowick), I better keep up the jogging!
Also need to work on my Running playlist on iPod. Yesterday while jogging, when I was just getting into the rhythm, the ipod skipped to 'Hawkmoon 269' by U2! Now U2, no-matter how awesome they are, is not a band you would like to listen to when you need some hard, pumping stuff like 'Anxiety' by Papa Roach/Black Eyed Peas. :-)
Will report more on the progress soon.
