I'll cross that bridge when the times comes
This coming weekend there is a run over a bridge... over the Humber Bridge near Hull and I'm considering heading towards that bridge on Sunday morning and handing in my entry form and give them some of my hard-earned cash and stating that I intend to cross that bridge because the time has come.
I woke up this morning and it felt like a good morning because (1) I could breathe and (2) I wasn't coughing up my lungs and (3) I didn't feel like I was stuck in the middle of the Namib desert and sweating like there was no tomorrow anymore. And I came to work and life is still good because I have yet to erupt in fits of coughing and spluttering and sneezing, although it seems I did a good job of handing out that virus to everyone at work because everyone sounds like me now!
Then the inspiration to look for some new running shoes struck me (<i>if only it was other shoes, but running it was!</i>) and I surfed the net on my keyboard and found the ideal pair... but they're not available anywhere near me! So I phoned the local running store and they said that they would be only too glad to order me in a pair and the day was saved!
Of course this means that there needs to be a little running in the future... and then I remembered that on the 5th of October I'm supposedly running the Great North Run in Newcastle which reminded me that I sent in my ill-or-injured form for the London marathon and panic erupted because the organisers said that if 'your cheque has not been cashed by the 23rd of June your entry got here too late' and mine hasn't been cashed yet! Even if I did send it in in good time... guess I can wait another 7 days in some form of hope and see what happens before I go into a flat panic and start looking for another March / April marathon.
But yes, that in short is what's been happening in my day so far... and I haven't lost it completely yet :)
