Running on Hold
Running has taken a big hit this month as I've spent every weekend decorating. In the past few weeks I've learned how to wallpaper like a pro, paint like Titian and build some cracking wardrobe doors out of contiboard with a fine oak finish. In fact I've gained a new respect for my Father who's business brain is not only ripe with very clever idea, but also full of amazing DIY tips.
So now that I'm back to work for a rest, I'm longing for a good run again. Just one look outside will tell you that this is perfect running weather. It's bright and sunny, but quite cool, without being cold. In fact, I'm sorely tempted to take a day off work (as holiday), simply to go for a proper run and stretch my legs.
Maybe the running impulse explains the new pair of Asics trainers I ordered, which have arrived this morning. As I'm sure you know, Asics is the world's biggest running shoes brand. They sponsor nearly every official race and sports event going and a worn by all manner of athletes. Not bad for a Japanese brand that's competing with Adidas and Nike if you ask me.
My life seems to be decorating and I'm really drained. I could fall asleep right now. But I have to get home, cook dinner, eat it and sort out other things before I go for a run. Will I run? I hope so.
