How Time Flies!

Today is Friday 4th December, and it has been a while since my last blog. My goodness, is there a priest in the house!

I could tell you all sorts of lies, but I'm sure you blog readers just know! You know where I have been, you know what I have not been doing, you know the fact that I, me, the old girl, has been sitting on her backside again, looking at the rain, saying 'No way am I going out in that' But I also know that you read my blog, and it said that if I didn't going jogging I would prance around in my kitchen for half an hour.

Again I know that you know, that that never happened! I developed a severe strain of lazyitus, it completely knocked me for six,.......maybe seven or eight (bars of choccie, pints of beer)

But, always a trier, always keep saying 'This is a new day, start again.' So I woke up from a wonderful dream, the sun was shining, blue skies, it looked lovely out there, then the still small voice saying, 'the sun shining, blue skies, its lovely out, get your ass out there now' Of course I do what most people suffering from lazyitus do, I pulled the covers over my head and tried desperately to get back to that wonderful dream.

The voices won, I got up, muttering as I pulled on my joggers, saying 'What a ridiculous thing I'm doing, a woman of my age, a nanny for goodness sake' Grabbing my tee shirt, yanking it over my head, muttering again 'Just take the car, go to the wool shop and buy some knitting needles and wool'

I'm not sure if talking to oneself means that you are in a bad place, and when the voices you have been 'chatting' to win the argument then I'm sure its time for treatment. All the same, here I am, outside my house, lovely blue skies sun shine....... and a chill! Brrrr, set the stopwatch and off I go. Even now I am arguing with myself saying just do the short route, and again I listened to the 'others', nagging sister included, and went the way of the well jogged path.

At that time of day, there was no one around, children all gone to school, golfers busy plotting where there ball needs to land, so the only one I had to 'impress' was me. Now that is not too hard, I'm easily impressed. The fact that I got out of bed before 10 impressed me! So I wasn't hoping for a impressive times, or complete endurance to reach turn around lamppost today, but I was going to push myself, get beyond that last lamppost where I stopped before, jog all the through the ally to turn around lamppost and back again. Say to my self 'walk from the next lamppost' but carry on to the next before I do.

Well it worked. I did all those things, but the time was not so good, but I still feel pretty good about it, the time was 16:11.17, mmmmm not good, but not bad.

So still small voice, nagging sister, blog readers, I am still here..........just about!
