Cream Crackered....

With less than two weeks to go before the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon, which I was mad enough to enter in a moment of lunacy just after Christmas, I think I may have overdone the training last weekend. I managed to fit an 8 miler in on Sunday, going out into Leigh and then onto Powder Mills and off road back into Tonbridge. Then yesterday I pounded the streets again going up to Bidborouh Ridge once more and down Vauxhall Lane and back into town. The second run, being the day after the first, was particluarly hard work up that Quarry Hill stretch so I felt like I'd really earned the long down hill stretch back home. My times have been steadily improving and I've managed to avoid heart attacks so far! But, to tell you the honest truth, today after biking to work, I'm feeling right cream crackered! I was glad to get to my desk and was actually hoping for a slow moring in the shop so that I could just relax. With it being half term and all that didn't happen, in fact it was quite busy so I've had to get up out of my chair on more than one occasion to help customers in search of the perfect book to read over the holidays. Although I'm looking forward to the T Wells Half I won't half be glad when it's over so that I can have a couple of weeks of putting my feet up. Knowing me though I'll probably enter the Paddock Wood Half which is in April. But at least that'll be flatter and I won't have to train up and down so many hills....

We all have our foibles. Thank God masochism isn't one of mine!
