Quick Run
Yesterday afternoon I felt particularly stressed out and I jumped out for a 30 minute run when I got home. Andy came along and chatted to me about the pros and cons of installing Vista on my machine, but to be honest, I can't remember the conversation much as I was trying to rid my mind of all things work and IT related. We decided to try running on the cycle path that goes behind our house and found that it might be a good training spot for X-Country. The first kilometer, we slipped and slid all over the place. Then we hit a gravel path and we could finally get into a steady pace.
About 2km down the path, we found the exit - it goes onto one of the main roads in town and right across from this exit, there is a train station... the one we've so desperately been trying to find. We turned back and on the way back, a few kids spotted us running and thought it might be fun to run alongside us and taunt us. At first it bothered me, but then I realised that if I just kept running, they'd eventually run out of steam. As it turns out, we just needed 1.5km before they had to stop, out of breath and if luck would have it so, a bit more brains. The little chavs-in-training need to learn a few manners.
Once home, I was supposed to get on my bike, but somewhere along the past 2 days, something went wrong and once I heard a grinding noise, I decided I was rather going to give it a skip and take my bike into the shop today.
I got into bed, completely relaxed and this morning I am in a positive state of mind - something I haven't been for a while.

You might have alerted at least one of the little gits into the joys of running as well as knackering them out.
Good luck with goals btw.
