Hello, all
Blank, diddly squat, insignificancy, naught, nil, nothing, nought, nullity, squat, zero, zilch, zip, zippo, zot. Such was the total of my miles this week. Even Robbie Burns would have been shocked at how agley my plans have ganged.

Thursday I was reasonably up for a late-night swim and the associated three-mile round-trip run, even though I knew it would kill me on Friday. But in the event a quiet night in with my wife seemed more important.

Friday I was philosophical, and concluded that now is not the time to take up triathlon. But it’s a definite possibility for the future, and almost certainly better for all-round fitness than just running. (Although possibly not as good for the soul...)

Friday night I was out, Saturday morning was taken up with odd jobs, Saturday afternoon a children’s birthday party. Saturday night my wife was out babysitting so I was confined to quarters. I was going to be down to one run this week.

Sunday daytime I could have fitted in a run, but I had earmarked the before-teatime slot and so filled the day with other pottering. But when 4pm came around, the choice was exercise or an extra family hour in the all-too-fleeting weekend. The latter won hands down. If I was committed, I should have gone in the evening, but by then my spirit was broken.

So that’s my list of excuses. Looking back, I could have fitted in at least one run, and of course as we all know, running is great therapy. This week I need to remember that a run might actually make me feel better.

Week 2 summary:
Planned: 11.5 miles + football
Actual: arse all + football
