Run Forrest Run

Urgh. Running. It's unfortunately one of my hobbies...don't ask why it's just one of those things that you get into and it's hard to get out of I suppose. I've been training at a club for about 5 years now, I'm no good, I usually come almost last in cross country and try to avoid athletics like the plague.

Annoyingly, tomorrow I have to do a school's race. For some reason they put me through to the second round even though I purposefully didn't turn up to the first one...and it's so early in the morning! 9.35am, ridiculous! You can tell it's organised by adults. It's a 3k...it sounds like a long way but it's my favourite distance- any shorter and the people just sprint away, I'm usually left on the start line for a few seconds before taking up my leisurely jogging pace :)

I suppose running is good though, if you do it you'll get what I'm saying...it's horrible but addictive! I'd better get some sleep in preparation for my early start, grr.

A good day with bad elements

So today I got up to do a cross country race in the snow. I do not know why I run, it keeps me fit and it's addictive, but turning up to muddy fields (in this case snowy) in the freezing cold weather just to get hot, sweaty and beaten by everybody, I just don't get it.

But today was different, I really enjoyed it. They cut out the huge hill and stream because of the snow so it was lovely and the alternative route was picture perfect. And to top it all off I didn't come last :D I came second last. Yes, rubbish, but someone has to, no?
So, bad elements, this wasn't just a pun on the chilly weather. Today my brother went back to uni after his christmas holiday. This isn't too big of a deal but it is sad because I really do miss him when he's gone, we get on well and talk a lot so it really is weird when he's not here.

Another devil- revision, I am currently revising for my science modules but it's so boring! I just cuddle up on my bed, turn the radio on and write notes, the only bearable way.

My last complaint- braces. Not the 'cool vintage hold up your trousers' type, the horrible 'you have wonky teeth so we're going to put metal things on them' type. I had mine tightened yesterday so they hurt :(
