..thats a bit more like it

okey-suffice it to say, i have been a bit grump-lucky stu is being nice although i think even he is a bit over it! lol-so im trying to suck up and i bought him dinner tonight!

..but what boys dont realise is that sometimes(particularly the week before a certain something, some GIRLS require a bit of 'ME' time or quiet time. I had a hell of a day at work and one must remember that i am surrounded by KIDS all day everyday and today they were just ALL very noisy. As a result, all things in the universe not aligning happily, i just wanted to run by myself today. the ballan set bores me a little because i have been going to the same place week in week out since hte start of XC- and i didnt really feel like running with juniors who may be squealing etc or just talking non stop- i really really needed quiet time. Someone didnt quite understand and cracked it a bit but it was for the best!
i THOROUGHLY enjoyed my run today. First time in while. Afterwards i was in a much better mood too :) i even drove to where the other strained as i wanted to wish the girls well for their big race on fri-but traffic dictated otherwise.
i knew i wouldnt be fast but i was consistent. There was a hellish wind

I understand completely and sometimes I quite enjoy a quiet quality session by myself too, I am a great believer in doing something different if you are feeling a bit blah.
