Fat man leading the way by digby8

It's getting cold again.  I know this from coming in from the scenic 8 mile route soaked due to the rain and shivering.  The advantage of the gym having many showers was sorely missed as I played gentleman to my running bud and waited my turn.  I took great pleasure in taking shoes and socks off and standing on a teatowel that had been warmed up.  Have you noticed that when you get really cold the water from the shower is cold on your calves my the time it reaches them?

The weekday training got lost due to a bout of flu and a 13 hour day working in London but did manage one resistance workout including the latest killer exercise.  take one yoga mat, one bar with minimal weights (must be circular) kneel and hold the bar with a wide grip and roll it out so you stretch your body until it hurts and your abs shake - hold - then pull back....  I only fell on my face once!

Joking nearly turned into reality when the race we had entered 2 weeks from now nearly went wrong.  I applied on the Monday, run bud on the Tuesday.  She got her place at 9.00 am yesterday and we joked we hadn't got it (our post is more like 14.00)  winding her up saying I wont get in.  Then my letter arrived and I hadn't got in.......  She had the last place, but after some pleading and a very understanding race secretary I now can pick up a number on the day...  Phew!
