Still an Idiot

Running
11 km in 58:14, average pace 5:18.

No running yesterday owing to the fact that I went to Oaks day, didn't get home until after 8 and after a day in high heels, running, I think not!

I was going to do 12 Km with some Fartlek today, Yes, there is a but coming. BUT, frankly my poor body is putting a bit of energy into healing itself at the moment, I have a wrecked thumb causing a bit of pain, a tender right arm caused by the tetanus injection and sunburn from yesterday. Yep, that's right, I am just a litany of self inflicted injury at the moment, with no one to blame but myself. The upshot being the 11Km I eked out today was enough without adding tempo work to the mix. You try pulling a tighter than tight crop top on over bad sunburn while trying to protect your right thumb and not shed a tear. I was close to not bothering but I wasn't skipping a run because of my own stupidity (I won't repeat what I said before when I took the crop top off again, not very ladylike).

Life
Obviously feeling a bit sorry for myself right now. Got a bit wobbly today, I have never fainted in my life but today I was not too steady. Perhaps just a case of delayed shock from Wednesday night, everytime I think back on it I feel a bit sick.

Ughh, enough moaning I am starting to bore myself.

I got my Trance 5's in the mail today from the States, I only ordered them on Saturday, pretty impressive. The company was www.sierratradingpost.com not a specialist running supplier, more of a skiing and hiking gear supplier. I was just lucky that they had a very small range of running shoes that happened to include the Brooks.

There are some things that have happened lately that I really want to comment on but I can't type very well at the moment so I'll save them up for a less self pitying post in a couple of days.
