8 February 2019                            10,814 steps                          no running                     weight 79.5kg

   Goodness me, there was a bit of a shock ‘weighting’ for me in the bathroom this morning. I stepped on the scales and couldn’t quite believe what I saw:  a weight gain of 1.9kg since yesterday! I’m used to my weight varying by as much as a kilo on a day-to-day basis, that much is not so unusual. But two kilos? That’s rather strange. I went over in my mind all that I had eaten yesterday, but it didn’t account for what I was seeing, so I just put that one down to experience and thought no more about it.

    Well, I didn’t quite dismiss it so completely from all thought. I should, of course, have gone for a nice, long, slow, fat-burning run to shed some of the accumulated bulge, but I’d already forsaken the early run in favour of one more reasonable sleep, and following work there was a small matter of an evening function to attend, and which, yes, required more imbibing of food and alcoholic beverages. Which is just another way of saying that today was, once again, a day which saw the running kit lay idle.

   It’s a pity really, especially as another fierce summer storm came through in the late afternoon, clearing away the humidity, lowering the temperature, and swamping the area with a lovely dose of ozone. Perfect conditions for running, but I’m sorry to say the opportunity was missed once again.

   Well, never mind. As I keep saying, perhaps a little too often, there’s always tomorrow.
