Jogging Along

After almost a week of work avoidance issues, I'm back... doing very little. Tor is visiting from Imperial today, so we had discussions about our work...and life...and jogging, but it must count for something. I feel useful; I burned a cd for her. It took a while- my cd drive is shagged. This is really annoying as I will have to pay to get it fixed myself since it isn't a university-owned computer. I was supposed to come in yesterday, but I slept in, went for a run, and then went 'sod it, its a bank holiday!!'. My run was interesting- there is a fair on on the common, so I spent the first few minutes leapfrogging pushchairs and grannys. It was also knackering- week two of The Plan is much harder than week 1 :(. Jac doesn't seem very keen on running with me anymore either- surley I'm not that scary?? I have found a 10k race in january, which about the right time-scale if I keep going- but it does mean training through winter. I had a minor triumph (I can't believe how sad I am saying this) in that I finished half of the flourescent child's bag that I am knitting. I sacrafised my Simms playing time to do this, so now Andy has a much more popular Sim than me- hopefully i'm more popular in real life to make up for it!! Spoke to my parent on the weekend, wiht dad tittering as he half-watched the olympic closign ceremony, and repeatedly told me how brilliant Kelly Holmes is. Parents, eh? Better do some work now...
