I really should get back nto it but I just can't seem to. Good for you.<BR/><BR/>As to your attitude to things at the moment - yep, am there too - instead of enjoying the good bits at the moment, I am just waiting for the bad bits that inevitably follow. Great eh? Think HotH hit the nail on the head - we are both STRESSED and need a holiday, pref together somewhere hot with no kids (love 'em though we do) or hubbys (love 'em too) just for a while, drinks included. No, not very likely is it?

Take a blanket outside and lie under a tree, have a picnic with your lovely children, have a snooze, have a nice time and take care of yourself.<BR/>I watched the first series of the apprentice but now cant stand the grasping, greedy, crassness of it all (well, look at me on my high horse!).

Doesn't it give you a headache?

What's that about long hot days? It's been sunny and the sun's hot, but the wind is still cold - apart from last Sunday when it really was beautiful bikini weather (I made the most of it!). <BR/><BR/>I am in more optimistic mood than you SM, which is unusual for me who has spent most of her life worrying about the passage of time. I will now really annoyingly tell you that your mood and your need to run are such clearly a sign of stress. When I was so stressed, depressed and beyond coping all I wanted to do was run (not literally, just run away). I had to get away from everyone and everything. I used to take myself to France or Cornwall. I have to agree that popping out for a run would have been easier (and cheaper!) but stamina is not my thing. Get sore throat and brain screams 'OK, BORED NOW!' after about the first five minutes! Was always more of a sprinter - gets it all over and done with faster.

Yes the shoes are expensive but compared to, say, the cost of a gym (we got a very cheap deal on ours) they're not too bad and will help stave off strange aches and pains. The other bit of essential kit - as I'm sure you know - is a good bra! Speaking as someone nursing bruises I would urge you to keep your eyes open! My left knee (it's always the left side, sigh!) is a mass of scar tissue from a couple of bad running falls. Don't be put off - you will feel so much better about everything if you run regularly!Chris Stovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741359642268813093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167953019082442253.post-23794826169706452982008-05-14T15:25:00.000+01:002008-05-14T15:25:00.000+01:00Oh you can tell me SM, then I won't have to watch ...Oh you can tell me SM, then I won't have to watch anymore, I want to give them all a good shake they are so useless!! sorry I know you like it but do any of them have any common sense? Oh well each to their own and I will wait for the last one and peek in at the end just so I willknow who was the best of the worst! As for the running, never any good myself terrible knees, not like my Dad who was on the list for the Olympics until Hitler put paid to his chance and he went onto to fly and bomb instead of running. I keep saying I will give it a go when I see the first runner with a smile, so get smiling SM and then i will have to put my money where my mouth is.
