I don’t really feel like blogging today. I didn’t really feel like running either as my calves are tired from yesterday, alas, I dragged myself out for a recovery mile and now I am feeling pleased with my 10 day run streak. Now, I give you a penguin.

For all my moaning, I do prefer to run in the morning for a few reasons; 1, it’s over and done with; 2, I feel good (and smug) for the rest of the day; 3, all the walking around during the day stretches out my legs. This means that I tend to eat… View Post
