Pigging It

I feel really lazy today.

I'm supposed to do some running - and I have been thinking over the past few days about how I perhaps need to focus more on speedwork, so as to improve my half-marathon time. I can do the distance, but I want to do it faster... and also because when it gets dark and cold I don't really want to be running for long. The thing, though, is that much as I know it's necessary for improving, I don't really like that oxygen-debt feel of speedwork. I hate gasping for air, legs tiring, heart pumping, huff huff huff....

We're also going away tomorrow to meet the in-laws and there are things to do before we leave - get the household jobs done etc - because there's not going to be enough time to do it when we get back ... so that's at the back of my mind as well.

To be honest, I'm just quite content to surf the internet today, to sit and rot - I feel in a way like I've earned it. The irony of it all is that the weather's gloriously sunny today - and I want to be indoors. Sigh.

I don't usually plug a blog, but if you like rowing, check out Coach Jay's blog. I've been into it today and quite like it.
