Week 4 marathon training...wrong knickers nearly set me off...

Tired after Saturday...I've had to sacrifice my Sunday cycles for the running... I used to go swimming on Monday nights and that's gone out the window also... Run run run...Eat run...pee run...sleep run...think run...shop run...blah blah blah...

3 miles tonight...Marcus makes us do 'the victory lap' around the Aquadome carpark after our run....sometimes I feel like jumping up and down like a nut-head and maybe throw in a few star jumps for variation but I don't think the rest of the group would see the funny side....

I nearly jeopardised my run tonite....freak attack inside at work...I finish at half five normally...routine includes tidy up, empty my bag and lay out my running gear just to settle myself... One by one ...out comes the trainers...my socks(have to have the same pair of socks every-time obviously washed!),fuzzy hair headband...then my running top and pants.....holy shit where are my fecking running knickers!

F$¥k... shite...feck...I'm a creature of habit and routine...i like to everything set out beforehand....oh my god how am I going to run without my ' special knickers'....anything could off set me....that's the problem..

what's so special about them?!well I bought them specifically for running in Nov..I'll probably have holes in my knickers by the time the marathon comes but who cares!......loola I know but everyone has their quirks...probably a bit of OCD I'd say...everything has to be right...I've a mild version of it! I had to settle myself and convince myself the 'knicker' saga won't ruin my run...i had to develop knicker amnesia for the duration of the run so I decided to push my lazy ass tonite and run faster...it distracted me...no ' comfy knicker thoughts or no ' can't run tonight cause I don't have my running knickers....it worked thank god because I have a history of looking for excuses not to exercise...running has deleted those thoughts .....nearly....

5 miles tomorrow night...ask Marcus the route...always like to know where I'm going just to feel secure...he smiles at me and says he'll decide tomorrow nite...the fecker!I think he knows I freak out a bit....coz I'm always asking him the route like a nuthead...still don't know the route....roll on the mystery 5 miles tour....with the comfy knickers ....
