I’ve turned over a new leaf. I’ve been inspired by all the fitness fanatics and have taken up training for the Olympics. Still I’m not sure what even I should compete in, so I’m going to try a few different events.
Today I donned my Lycra running shorts, and went out to try middle distance running. I thought that maybe I should start my training regime slowly, and maybe only do a couple miles. It has been a while since I’ve done some running after all.
Down the end of the road, and then towards the beach I headed. The training was going well, until all of a sudden I spied a little cafe – with great views over the beach, and serving great coffee and cake. Well that was it. Coffee and cake won out after a brief wrestle in my conscience.
I read the paper, drank a couple coffees, and then finished my little run. (This time I was running back home.) I think I clocked up an impressive 500 metres today. I’ll have to run a different direction tomorrow, so I don’t come across the cafe again. Or maybe I’ll be able to carry on past it next time.
So I don’t think that I’ll be turning the athletics world on its head, but I am going to do more running.
