Ok, everyone say's admitting it to yourself is the first step...so here goes....I am a sorry excuse for a runner. I had a brilliant run on the 27th...ran round Battersea Park...seriously, at one point I wanted to high five the other runners while screaming "Look at me" until I looked at my clever little GPS tracker....turns out that my running was only ONE minute faster than my walking?!? What? Am I running backwards? Sideways? Or, am I infact doing the "girlie crossing the road thing" yet for longer?....you know the one..its where us girls in heels suddenly lose any normal walking stride, and start doing this wierd pigeon stepped jumpy run/walk as soon as you have to cross the road while not not being at a crossing...usually accompanied by screaming, giggling and crys of nearly being run over and "I saved your life!".
Gosh, if I am doing that around Battersea no wonder people look at me oddly?
Anyway, I am currently trying to convince myself that I am, in fact, a very fast walker, yet I know that I am, once again, making up excuses.
This has now thrown me completely off my training, I havent been out once since, yes, the snow has helped that decision not to put on tight but very cold lycra, but in all honesty it has knocked my confidence.
Also what hasnt helped is that someone told me that I can lose all of my toenails running, get bleeding nipples, and a few people actually pee themselves at the end of the race.
WHAT?? Kidding right? What a vision I now have of myself....Bloodied on the top half, smelling of urine, and my lovely white Asics not so lovely and white anymore. Wow, now I am really looking forward to it, and I bet you all cant wait to support me eh? Please do though, I cant promise not to pee on you, but I can promise you I need as much support as I can get.
Big Bro, the things your little sister will do for you eh?
Sheesh.
