The Pregnant Elephant is back

Running

An easy recovery run was on the cards today, so I did 10.3Km in 55:12:09 which was an easy average pace of 5:20. As I mentioned yesterday I have now strung together 2 consecutive weeks of over 70Kms and will be on track for another one this week. Conservative by some people's standards but high mileage for me, I am now entering the period where if anything can go wrong it will (touch wood). So the time has come to be sensible, listen to what my body is telling me and don't do anything stupid! It was glorious this afternoon, still 19 degrees when I ran over Morell Bridge at about 4:20 pm.

Life

Yep, it's that T.O.M again where despite all evidence to the contrary I feel like a pregnant elephant, why oh why do I retain water like a camel? I cope better these days, I even did 10Kms in the pouring rain in Sydney this time last month, despite feeling like crap before the run I felt amazing during the run. Though I did need to sit down in the shower for about half an hour afterwards to recover. I read somewhere recently that if you get onto the Nurofen before the cramps kick in that you can beat them, so on Wednesday morning it will be 2 Nurofen at breakfast and wait and see. Oh blessed Nurofen, surely the person who invented it should be awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.

Music Challenge

Here is a challenge for all the music fans out there. Now that I am doing some of my runs with my iPod Shuffle I have all sorts of song lyrics bouncing around in my head. A gold star to the first person who can name the song and artist, answer will be posted tomorrow

"Ain't no sum bitch gonna treat me like a ho, I'm a classy honey kissy huggy lovey dovey ghetto princess"

A hint because it was such a lovely day and I am feeling generous - You shouldn't really run with them - come onnnnnn, I couldn't have made it any easier

LOL when I did the spell check the alternative for Nurofen was Nirvana, could anything be more appropriate :-)
