Back to my usual posting slot, my apologies for my last post (http://pete-tizard.blogspot.com/2011/11/late-but-not-forgotten.html) it was a tad boring. I wrote that post in front of the telly and its difficult to concentrate when watching such high quality programming as Come Dine with Me. Going forward I will write this drivel in my room so there is no distractions.
Ran 4 times this week, with 3 in the morning to work and 1 long one today. The morning runs to work were difficult, haven't been sleeping great and it makes the run twice as difficult.
The run this morning has been the best yet (ran for 2 hours solid), not in terms of pace (hampered by eating my own body weight in food the day before) but the enjoyment of the run as a few notable things happened. Ran past an old guy in tweed and a flat cap kicking around all of the falling leaves, it was a bizarre but sweet sight. This was then followed by a man with a loud speaker shouting at me when I ran down the Mall, turns out they were trying to film something.
Finally, I am pretty sure at one point I was running alongside Pippa Middleton in Hyde Park. I was running next to her but couldn't get behind to confirm. Will keep you updated of any more Pippa sightings.
Quick update on the knee, its been pretty solid this week. However, getting shin pains in my right leg in the first 15 minutes or so of running. I think I over compensate on my right leg to make up for the knee, will aim to have a gait analysis (not the garden variety) done to understand this better.
It was a busy weekend where I took in the delights of Southampton and then Sunday spent running (see above) and shopping.
It seems all my friends are getting married (congrats Rob and Natalia) and so I was down in Southampton to have my measurement taken for my usher morning suit. We discussed our duties for the day and I reserved the job of putting cones out in the car park. I also provided some advise, not having cucumbers anywhere near the wedding menu and the first dance being to poker face. Went out to Bangalore Express in the evening (http://bangaloreexpress.co.uk/ outside Waterloo very near the Old Vic), it was good but the curry was ridiculously hot.
Today I went shopping round Regent street and then up to Covent Garden, I really hate shopping unless its on Amazon. It was satisfying to see the men stuck in H&M waiting for their girlfriend/wife were equally as miserable.
You'll be happy to here it was a success, got my trainers (http://www.scarpa.co.uk/Products/Product.asp?ProductId=145) and tux, that's me done for the year!
Got to hang up my clothes now so lets call it a night. Thank you for the continued support and please enjoy the upcoming week.
