In the office again today so managed to put down the mince pies and get out for a 5k at lunch time. To break it up I ran the reverse of the loop I ran last week to give me a change of scenery.. first mile just seemed to drag along, though once I got into it, by the last mile I was begining to feel much more in control again (as opposed to enduring it!) and so picked up the pace a bit. Felt very pleased to have made the effort and got out of the office - it would have been easy to stay in and go for xmas lunch with the rest of the office.. the trade off was that I got to eat my office xmas lunch by myself in the canteen - still the staff in the restaurant made me feel welcome as I wolfed down some soup and a turkey roast with all the trimmings! (I was starving at lunch time, and that was even with treating myself to a full English breakfast at 07:30!) my one weekly treat when I go to the office is a full-English - the reward for leaving the house at 05:30 for a 2 hr drive to Basingstoke!)
This running everyday business is generating some interest in the office - lots of office chat about the route I took being favoured by oddballs and weirdos who like lurking in woodland... some recent press about weirdos trying to grab women and girls whilst they're out walking their dogs in this area or something which is disturbing and concerning to say the least...I shall remain vigilant! - TC can I borrow your Captain America costume please.
