....are like dragons guarding our deepest treasures.
And that is so true.
I am just thankful for all the good things that have happened lately and I am so positive about the future.
And that isn't even post run euphoria talking. Or even vodka. My Saturday run angered Mr Achilles to the point I couldn't risk it Sunday. So Sunday I managed 1.6km in the pool. Yeah me. Swimming. 1.6km. In one go. Without stopping. hahahahaha.
Then I was still jumping from foot to foot so I took the bike out for 20km. It took about 45 mins and probably about a thousand calories and countless back muscles to pump up the tyres, despite my new fangled pump I bought in the winter, once used. Problem was, I forgot the key aspect of UNSCREWING the wee lid thing on the poky out bit of the tyre. No wonder my face was getting red, I was panting and the tyre was staying flat. But no matter, it is in the long term memory now, no need to remind myself. Except I was reminded about the time, not that long ago, that I forgot how my gears worked and I rode for 10.8km in a really hard gear, thinking, "this bike riding lark is harder than I remember" until I remembered that thing that looks like a break is actually a gear changing thingy and you can drop down a gear, and yeah, well ....most normal people know this shit....
Anyway. I liked the weeekends activities. Last night I had to work till 10pm standing in the rain watching fecking eejits tell me they couldn't read a number plate when it would have been clear to fecking Stevie Wonder what was on the plate. So no running Monday.
