I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it! by Freshharris

The things, you say... Oh, you're unbelievable!

No necessarily as confident a title as it sounds

This morning I was up and out of bed at 6.05am and soon on the road for what I hoped would be a comfortable 5 miler to start the day. Because of the dark, I adjusted my 4mile road route to take in an extra two miles (losing one which linked back to my house). What didn't occur to me is that most of those extra two miles were uphill.

I ended up in a physical and mental battle with my brain telling me to stop at two separate hills and both times, I realised that my legs had just ignored me and carried on running. When I got home I was pretty disappointed, after all on Saturday I ran 10miles at 8.28 pace and this 5 miler was done in 42.37 (8.31 pace) then I noticed that exactly a month ago I ran a 5 miler which I had been chuffed with at the time 3 minutes  slower!

With that in mind, and the fact that EMF came on my iPod just as I neared the top of the final hill my cheesy song title was chosen.

Incidentally, what the hell is purple prose?

In other news, day one of laying down the law on the year 10s since taking them over three periods a week. I hope they know what they are in for. Rargh! (Yes I rarghed!)
