Jesus, Mary and Joseph I'm tired! Hence the late post, I figured if I posted last night it would have been half arsed and not provided the top quality drivel that you have come to expect.
Ran 3 times last week with the big one coming on Saturday - 16 miles (2 hrs 15 mins thereabouts). It was fun and enjoyed the majority of the route especially the Thames - pretty cool Christmas fair on by Southbank at the moment. One thing that did occur to me when I was constantly dodging the legions of tourists was that I'd be pretty much a pro at British bulldog now (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_bulldogs_(game) ). I did feel pretty ill after the run, very hot/dehydrated - next time I will take on more fluids and perhaps buy a utility belt to use (like Batman).
The knee (see last update http://pete-tizard.blogspot.com/2011/11/sham-of-running-week.html), I wouldn't say the knee is getting worse but its certainly not getting better. Still hurting, had to stop and stretch the knee when I got off the tube this evening :(.
Its getting noticeably colder now and am considering wearing my running gloves. You won't catch me in leggings though not since the police pulled me over the last time.
I was a bit of a social animal this week kicking off with the office Christmas party on Thursday. I won't go into much detail but for those who were there - dancing girls, inflatable tommy guns and Gerald owning the dance floor.
Saturday night was a birthday party - congrats Nick (well played on the poker, as long as Scottish doesn't win). Turns out I can't really handle my drink (which is strange considering I am a 1/4 Irish) and felt terrible the next day. I tried to make up for it by taking in some culture. Went to the latest exhibition at Tate Modern (http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/gerhardrichter/default.shtm) - big paintings. Then went out later for cupcakes (http://www.primrosebakery.org.uk/) - small cakes.
As ever I appreciate any support (http://www.justgiving.com/pete-tizard-london2012 ) and please enjoy the rest of the week!
