I've just got back from my first run ever in my life (except from the time I had to run away from a drunken Spanish groper on a Benidorm backstreet). I started off walking up the road away from houses so the neighbours couldn't see me wheezing and have a good laugh at how un-fit I am. Once I got away from habitation I broke into a jog, and wierdly, I quite enjoyed it. The sun was just starting to go down, and I ran along a path at the side of a field, and the green of the new grass and the golden sunshine was just gorgeous. I turned up my ipod (Ash and Kings of Leon) and just enjoyed feeling alive. I kept myself going by aiming for trees ahead of me; 'just get to that tree and then you can have a rest' and then when I got to that particular tree I'd pick the next one and keep going. I did stop once, but I reckon I did alright considering my lifestyle for the last ten years. Am planning to go again tomorrow after work, but I've got to go into town to get a birthday card for L before he picks me up at 6pm to go for dinner. Its his birthday on Tuesday and he's having a big party on Friday night. Have I sorted out his birthday present yet? Nope. I am so disgustingly disorganised.
Am writing this while watching American Idol. Its 70's week this week, and generally the song choices have been pretty wank. Before each contestant goes on, they show a short VT of them talking about what American would be surprised to learn about them. So far we've had drag-racing, gymnastics and punk band membership. If I was on this, what on earth would I say?! I can't think of anything. Surely the world is full of average people who don't have crayzee hobbies an just go to work, go to the pub, go to the supermarket etc etc? How come all I seem to come accross is people who spend their spare time bungee-jumping and potholing?
Anyway, enough of this stream of consciousness. Plan for this week: run at least three times, don't make any attempts to contact Big C (I can't take any more rage), and apply for the MA. At least I've got the house tidied today so I don't have to worry about that. Can't be arsed to do the ironing though.
