Your kex is on fire

A hot chilli (non) carne and running make a strange mix.

Still, it didn't put me off doing a PB yesterday. Felt good, bit of a nosebleed again, but not as much as last time. Shins ache now, despite all the stretching, but I guess it's to be expected at this stage.

This run was an extension of the usual one to Finsbury Park - I just built in some laps around Ally Pally and Highgate Wood. I can boost the same run perhaps by building in laps on the return, which is nice, since it's familiar ground and away from the traffic fumes.

Saw lots of other runners about too, enjoying the weather and mild temperature.

Onwards and upwards!

Note to self...

always take care when opening bathroom door. Especially if your (long, kind of useless) toe happens to be in the way. Slight graunching noise and a bit of blood, which I absentmindedly mopped up (owing to the fact I was swearing like Roy Chubby Brown and concentrating on the pain, rather than the task in hand). Took some Ibuprofen (which worked surprisingly quickly - there must be something in one's genetic makeup that specifies that toes get treatment first) and went (gingerly) to bed. Toe was fine today, though, if a little sorry looking, so I went for a run.

Silly arse.

Toe felt dodgy all the way round. I personally think it took umbrage at my making it bear the brunt of my weird loping run and decided to take mutinous action upon my nose, which chose to bleed quietly for the first few miles. Cause and effect, see? Sophistry, what sophistry?

Still, had a nice little sweat round. Got home in plenty of time for dusk and a nice pint of nuun. Great stuff, that.

The stats are here, for those who wish to peruse 'em.

Anyhow, muchos ta to those who've sponsored us so far. We're very grateful for the amount we've received and would love for people to help us meet our target still, so, if you've not given, please drop a few quid in the tin here

Bye for now!
