Ran a reverse loop last night. It was slow and painful. The sides of my lower legs (kinda beside the shin bones) are still giving me grief and I don’t know why. It feels like they’re bruised. WTF?! I thought I was being nice to them.
It pisses me off that the longer I run the more pain I have to endure and the slower I seem to get. I can’t frickin’ wait to get into regular bike commuting again!! The new job has showers (insert collective: “ahhh ooooh” here).
It appears that the only way to get faster running is to run once and then rest for a month, then run again. Total poo! Grrr…
The local gym (of which I am a member) is shutting down too, so I don’t know if I should get another month out of them or if that will just leave me pissed off when they finally close? Double grrrr..
Did I mention I get to ride into the city soon? 😀
Oh, I spotted FixieChick(tm) riding outbound through Ealing again last night. When I say “again” I’ve seen her ride towards the city in the mornings but not outbound before. She looks like a courier (bag, stripey leggings, cut denim, etc) but that could just mean that she wants to look like a courier?
The way she veered around a car last night while apparently slowing with legs only made me wonder if she is indeed riding brakeless? Further investigation a must.. *jumps out bellowing “STOOOOOOPP!!!!”* (Gawd, I’m evil! 😉 :-D).
In gastro-news: I cooked Lucy’s (Peregrine’s night receptionist) Thai Red Chicken Curry and my flatties (doss hosts?) are still alive!
They did a really good job of faking approval too.. 😉 I have an interesting pasta sauce recipe from her as well.. Has the cooking mojo returned?
Time for EARL (Reversed): 41:02. Summary: “Blah!”
Cookery stuff, you should peruse our flickr gallery for garden pix. Grow your own..basil and tomatoes of course.

Cooking is one thing cfsmtb, but gardening as well?!?! If it doesn’t involve a Victa or a Whipper-Snipper I’m just not interested. 🙂
I did once grow chillies.
Mmm.. chillies..
Was she hot?
Oh, and the victa is a ride-on, right?

Dude, don’t ignore the shins. You’re probably in shoes that don’t suit you.
I cooked tacos last night and they were a hit; it seems we are culinary genii.
Shin splints!! Arrh, I know thy pain… Tams right, new shoes fixed that for me… fork out some cash tightarse!!
FixieChick is fit but I only see her from behind. No complaints thus far 😉
Ride-On? Wouldn’t be able to turn the thing around in this yard! Oh and the poms don’t have "backyards" they have "back gardens".. Blah! The fools invented the language and then ruined it! Don’t even get me started on how they pronounce "router" and "database"…
I never had a problem with these shoes before. I purchased them for ME for running and they’ve worked for me thus far. I think they are getting passed their use-by perhaps? (>300k).
I want new shoes but I have sh1t like rent to think about and I don’t get paid for a month. London is a money-hungry whore.
