That’ll teach me!
As I woke on Sunday morning I thought I’d have a lie in, as I was feeling so tired and didn’t fancy getting up.
Simply lying there was bliss, and I mulled over having found a new talent, probably honed over three years of working from home – the “what can I do, instead of what I should be doing” talent. Washing, ironing, weeding, hoovering, putting things in just the right place on the shelf, sorting the cutlery drawer, the list is endless.
We all know it know don’t we, and I bet a fair few of you are masters of the craft!
But there was a problem. The task that must be achieved was still out there, now looking distinctly scarier than it would have done first thing in the morning, when I could have just got on and done it, and then rested afterwards.
A little later in the day, once I had roused myself from my slumber ant myself moving at last, I realised that it had become quite a lot warmer out there, and to add to the problem, I’d now eaten my lunch AND had that CBA (can’t be arsed) feeling that descends on a Sunday afternoon. Going for run was becoming less appealing by the minute. Hence, I found myself sitting at my desk and writing a bit – see – another of those “let’s do something else that’s not what I should be doing” moments.
Again, as many times before, I needed to remind myself of why I must run. I had an ultra-marathon coming up. And not just any Ultra, a really, really, big and scary one.
Although I could just sit down and watch some YouTube videos about different people running in Nepal and absorb it all that way, that was not one of my best ideas. But wouldn’t it be a good use of my time, and actually start preparing me for the upcoming adventure, would it?
So I got out there and ran
Better late than never!
