Running...

...is a bit boring really isn't it? Well I think so. Just stubborn-ness and steely determination to claim my space blanket on May 20th is spurring me on. I've been "running" since January in an effort to get fit and to run the Manchester 10km run in May and I'm making some slow progress towards this. The training plan has been thrown somewhat into disarray this week thanks to a self inflicted bout of iffyness following excessive spice and cheese intake lately. That'll teach me and I'm on plain foods till I'm right but hoping to get out for 2 miles or so on Sunday. To make sure I carry on running for a little while at least, I'm signing up to run the Race for Life in Bolton with work in July, which I reckon will be a doddle after the 10km.
I'll be on the scrounge for sponsership at some point so watch out!

Boring?? Here's 10 reasons why Ron thinks Running is better than anything else:

1. You won't go blind running on your own

2. You don't have to hide your running magazines

3. It is acceptable to pay a professional to help you run better

4. Your running partner doesn't get upset about people you've run with before

5. It is acceptable to run with perfect strangers

6. If your regular running partner isn't avaiable she won't mind if you run with somebody else

7. There are no running transmitted diseases

8. Nobody ever says 'What you want to run again? That's twice ....'

9. You're not expetced to run with the same partner for the rest of your life

10. Nobody expects you to give up running if your partner goes off the idea.
