Priorities

Between leaving work yesterday afternoon and arriving at work this morning I:

• Went to the supermarket
• Watered the garden
• Went for a 30 min tempo run, plus 1 mile warm up and cool down
• Had a shower
• Ate dinner
• Made a coffee & walnut cake and a batch of raspberry, vanilla & white chocolate cupcakes
• Made 2 batches of failed icing
• Did my ironing and packed my bag for a weekend away
• Sorted out my ipod
• Slept
• Got up
• Fed cats
• Went for a 4 mile easy run
• Had a shower
• Ate toast
• Resurrected the batches of failed icing and iced the cakes
• Got back in the shower because I realised I forgot to shave my legs
• Finished packing

I am quite surprised I didn’t ice my i-pod or iron my legs.

Given this list to prioritise, most normal people would ditch the runs. I know I am odd but I didn’t feel I was making an effort to fit them in. Fitting in the other stuff was the pain.  I can’t remember much about either run, other than that I listened to the same episode of Kermode & Mayo’s film reviews (aka wittertainment) during each and it’s still going, but that doesn’t matter. Sometimes I don’t think about running – I run so I don’t have to think.
