bother

Thanks to that instrument of Satan gmap-pedometer, I have discovered that my sensational long run last week was actually about 14km and thus extremely slow :(. Naturally I immediately checked all my other routes; my estimations are pretty close, thank goodness! Better to know now than get a rude shock when I run at Shepparton on the 27th. *BIG SIGH*
In Running Bling news, I am now the proud owner of a new bumbag with a bottle holder (pauses for impressed "ooooooooh!" from audience). And mine is red! It has a pocket for my adrenaline pen, phone, mp3 and emergency details. You DO all carry emergency details when you're running, don't you? Of course you do.
I'm going to start experimenting with gatorade/sports drinks for runs over an hour as I've been reading about the need for potassium and sodium when you're sweating. And they don't call me 'the human tap' for nothing LOL. Also jelly snakes are turning out to be addictive, and I don't need any other vices.
Speaking of which, Plan "sms my niece L the number of glasses of wine I consume on weeknights" (note to self: must think of a shorter name) has worked superbly, thanks L. I've been able to text "0" three days in a row. Wine-with-dinner habit, you are on your way out!
It's 10.15am and I'm still in my pj's, a bit fed up because I haven't been Iron Wil and out at stupid o'clock. A familiar refrain, eh? However I have fed Noddie, made beds, run washing, picked up some of the 1000000000000000 bits of miscellaneous shite that float around my house in a kind of Brownian motion, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned the kitchen and been through the Spousal Unit's wardrobe and tossed 100000000000000000000000 bits of miscellaneous shite that have been preveting him putting his shoes away. You see, I am a Pleasantly Tidy Person and the Spousal Unit is a Demon Slob from Hell . It's a Very Good Thing he has so many other virtues, so I don't have to kill him.
I'm joking. About killing him. Who would mow the lawn? Mwhahahahaha
Off swimming now.
