I am happy to report that Joel is home safe and sound from his Loch Ness swim so no movie channel for me which is a good thing.
Now, let me tell you a bit about this swim.
It's in Loch Ness, it's a mile swim, the water is cold.....as in 50 F or below and you get a t-shirt.
Anyone who knows Joel know that he will do almost anything for a T-shirt, and while I admire that I'm just not that person. Which brings me to tell you that I probably should be as I suddenly remembered I signed myself up for a 10k in October.
I hate running. I despise running. It's not fun, it's not relaxing, it's boring and I don't like it.
Why did I sign up for it then?
It was purely a moment of weakness. Last year I watched as all the runners ran past the shop and I stood outside and cheered and all of a sudden it was almost like I was taken over by this irrational person who put strange thoughts in my head. Thoughts along the lines of: "it's for charity", "you'll feel good afterwards", "it's only 10k", "you'll lose at least 10 kg by doing it".
See what I mean when I say irrational thoughts??
Anyways, it's done, I'll do the race and hopefully not get caught up in the moment and sign up for another race.
The training starts on Monday so until then I'll be right here on the sofa nursing my sore throat
